AT THE School of Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, the Department of Pediatrics has organized a series of field experiences intended to acquaint future physicians with programs and facilities outside the confines of the Medical Center which are concerned directly or indirectly with the health and welfare of normal and exceptional children. During their pediatric outpatient service, senior medical students in groups of six to eight spend 6 half-days in "community pediatric" training. Each student is loaned a collection of selected reprints, booklets and mimeographed material pertinent to the areas covered in the community experiences. They are urged to read the appropriate material before each field trip in order that their observations may be meaningful and productive. Additional preparation is given at the visit site by approximately an hour's group discussion of the general area to be covered, specific items to be noted, and questions to be considered during the experience. No attempt is made to cover all aspects of the program being viewed. Informal discussion and interpretation are maintained by the instructor throughout the field trip.

Object The first North American 201 cobalt-60 source Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) device was introduced at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 1987. The introduction of this innovative and largely untested surgical procedure prompted the desire to study patient outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of this technique. The parallel advances in computer software and database technology led to the development of a registry to track patient outcomes at this center. The purpose of this study was to describe the registry's evolution and to evaluate its usefulness. Methods A team was created to develop a software database and tracking system to organize and retain information on the usage of GKS. All patients undergoing GKS were systematically entered into this database by a clinician familiar with the technology and the clinical indications. Information included patient demographics and diagnosis as well as the anatomical site of the target and details of the procedure. Results There are currently 11,738 patients in the database, which began to be used in August 1987. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center has pioneered the evaluation and publication of the GKS technique and outcomes. Data derived from this computer database have facilitated the publication of more than 400 peer-reviewed manuscripts, more than 200 book chapters, 8 books, and more than 300 published abstracts and scientific presentations. The use of GKS has become a well-established surgical technique that has been performed more than 700,000 times around the world. Conclusions The development of a patient registry to track and analyze the use of GKS has given investigators the ability to study patient procedures and outcomes. The future of clinical medical research will rely on the ability of clinical centers to store and to share information.
