AB  - The performance of hand‐held computer terminals was compared with that
of paper and pencil data collection methods. The study was carried out
on two wards, with a comparative study in the medical audit unit at
Rampton Hospital, one of three special hospitals managed by the Special
Hospitals Service Authority. These were analysed, focusing on time
factors, error rates, ease of use and financial implications. Findings
showed that the electronic system saved time, reduced staffing costs and
errors and had unit‐wide potential. The electronic data collection
contributed to a cost‐effective and flexible data‐processing system for
use in auditing.
