PIP: In Ireland, where contraception and planned parenthood are political issues, the 2 Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) clinics in Dublin have administered a new record system to new clients. Information from the client at interview and medical examination, details of the treatment prescribed are entered on a chart designed for computerization. About 6000 new clients each year attend the clinics. On the first visit a 3 page chart is completed. The top copy remains in the clinic and the carbon copy is transferred to the computer. The client's name and address appear only on the copy remaining in the clinic. Most boxes require completion only if a positive answer is indicated. Past contraception, complications and any referrals to specialist clinics or hospital outpatient clinics may be entered easily. A condensed follow-up page is used for subsequent visits. Possibly significant correlations of side-effects with specific contraceptives might emerge that would otherwise be overlooked. The program began in January, 1979.
