Abstract

A database program developed specifically for tracking all data collected during routine electrophysiology practice (EP) is described. The program is written in Filemaker Pro, a flat-file Macintosh based system. The database provides a standard of data entry and data integrity, easy retrieving and reporting clinical data. It assists in clinical decision making and improves the quality of care of patients as well as provides a historical data for future research and analysis
