Abstract
Some practical results of computerized data collection are presented. Use was made of the ABIES relational database which supports a medical nomenclature called the READ classification. The Glasgow, Royal London and Bristol Homœopathic Hospitals have been working together on this project.For practical purposes the main focus in this study has been rheumatoid arthritis. The broader objective, however, is to show the potential of systematic computerized data collection for homœopathy in general.Keywords
