The “E-Book” Turned Chronic Illness Register

Abstract A Chronic Illness Register (CIR) has been developed by modifying the E-Book. The CIR is the cornerstone of a system of monitoring 19 chronic health problems in our clinical practice. It has also become the vehicle for a prospective study on the longterm management of chronic illness. In nine months of use, it has been positively received by patients and the family practice nurse.
