Comparative Study[Guidelines for the sociomedical assessment of performance in patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD) and bronchial asthma].
The following guidelines were developed for the medical assessment services of the German Federal Insurance Institute for Salaried Employees (BfA). Starting from day-to-day practice, criteria and attributes to guide decisions for a systematization of the sociomedical assessment of performance in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and bronchial asthma were compiled. ⋯ The guidelines summarise typical manifestations of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and bronchial asthma and describe the necessary medical information for the sociomedical assessment of performance. Relevant assessment criteria for the medical history, clinical examination, and for diagnostic tests are illustrated.

Comparative Study[A security protocol for the exchange of personal medical data via Internet: monitoring treatment and drug effects].
We present a security protocol for the exchange of medical data via the Internet, based on the type/domain model. We discuss two applications of the protocol: in a system for the exchange of data for quality assurance, and in an on-line database of adverse reactions to drug use. We state that a type/domain security protocol can successfully comply with the complex requirements for data privacy and accessibility typical of such applications.
