Abstract: Fast and easy access to all relevant data is of most importance in medical diagnostics and therapy. Electronic patient records can fulfil these requirements much better than common paper-based records. This article describes the TBase2 system, an example of such an electronic patient record. It was developed in close cooperation with the Department of Nephrology at the university hospital Charité in Berlin. Due to its flexibility TBase2 can easily be adapted to the demands of other departments. Beside supporting the daily care for patients, TBase2 also gathers detailed data of high validity ideally suited for medical research.
