Abstract
A computer-aided method is for documenting a medically insignificant finding. By way of example, a display device on the computer system is used to display an electronic form suitable for the documentation to a doctor. The doctor then need activate only a single input element on the computer system, so that the activated input element is used to complete the electronic form automatically using prescribed data which are stored on the computer system and associated with an insignificant medical finding. A computer-aided method is also for documenting a medical finding. For this method, a display device on a computer system is used to display an electronic form suitable for the documentation to the doctor, for example. When the electronic form has been completed using data associated with the medical finding, a single input element on the computer system is activated, and the activated input element automatically prompts performance of at least one action by the computer system.
