Abstract
Every-day routine responsibilities of medical staff can be enormous. The appearance of new computer-based information technology has eased these activities enormously and enabled medical staff to perform their work more efficiently and effectively. One possible application of computer technology in paediatric cardiology, where examinations can be very expensive, is the optimisation of the diagnostic process in a manner to minimise the number of examinations, and to reduce costs and the risk to the patients. In this paper, we present an information system which supports diagnostic process optimisation (DIAPRO) and the approach used to design it.<>
