Computerised psychiatric case registers in Britain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
Case registers can provide useful data for research and service planning, but the older manually maintained registers were expensive and required special accommodation, staffing and support. Turning raw data into useful information was a laborious process and most systems could not accommodate ad hoc reports. Partly as a result of these shortcomings, and partly because of spending cuts, a number of case registers were closed in the 1980s (for example, see Hassall, 1991).
