Selecting a Computer System for the Clinical Laboratory

A review on the latest clinical and laboratory criteria for clinical diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with various organs involvement which early diagnosis of disease is critical for successful treatment. The subjects with the possibility of SLE who visit by physician, their full medical history and specific immunological tests should investigate precisely in order to subsequently asses their hematological and renal parameters t...

The clinical biochemistry laboratory computer system as a simple calculator: a program in MUMPS

Analysing the effects of hardware upgrades on the performance of a LABCOM+ clinical laboratory computer system

The performance ofall computer systems is limited by the speed of their components. Moreover, it is rare that anyone believes their computer system’s speed is adequate for the tasks to be performed, particularly those using interactive systems. The clinical laboratory is no exception to those areas where speed is important. The difference in the time spent using a system with slow response time...

A computer system for clinical microbiology.

The Department of Clinical Microbiology at St Thomas' Hospital has been producing bacteriological reports on a computer for more than three years and is now producing some 2300 reports per week. The system is operated entirely by laboratory staff without special training, and involves the use of optical mark reader (OMR) forms as worksheets, automatic validation and release of most reports, the...

Implementation of a British computer system for laboratory data handling.

This paper describes the development and implementation of a small real-time British computer system for the handling of patient and test result data in the chemical pathology laboratories of the King's Health District (Teaching). Work destined for subsequent reporting by the computer system is entered by continuous on-line teletype. Test result data from multichannel analyzers are input using ...
