Claim:
Method for electronically storing, retrieving and/or modifying records using a computer system comprising a display unit, an input unit, a memory unit and a processing unit, and involving at least one recorded catalogue of recommended actions, comprising: using the computer system to sequentially steer a process of interrelated actions from said at least one recorded catalogue of recommended actions, creating a hierarchy of actions from the at least one recorded catalogue of recommended actions comprising hierarchised sequences of alternative actions, wherein each action specifies at least one act to be performed, wherein each level of the hierarchy represents recommended and alternative actions for a step in a procedure, wherein the procedure comprises a plurality of sequential steps, and wherein the recorded catalogue of recommended actions represents at least one procedure; using the computer system to generate electronic evaluation forms hierarchically organized as forms and subforms, wherein said evaluation forms comprise a list of one or more selected from the group comprising of recommended actions, information-input requests, decision-requests and selection algorithms, and wherein said generation of evaluation forms is carried out in function of said hierarchised sequences of alternative actions, and in function of the past history of all alternative actions, including both the actual action chosen and all other actions not chosen by the user, and using the computer system to link the generated evaluation forms for each traversal of the hierarchy and transfer the generated evaluation forms in one operation into one file.
