Abstract

Data collection at Emergency Departments (ED), especially with regard to toxicological aspects, is usually incomplete; they further deteriorate following the recent diffusion of data processing and retrieval systems, possibly different from region to region. The present paper deals with the setting of a computer program, specific for toxicological patients, easy to access from the general data collection system.
