Biomaterial Database

Coordinated computer reporting of microbiology data in the clinical laboratory. 1979

S D Kobernick, and P A Hendry, and J E Greer

The details of incorporating microbiology results into a single computerized report that also includes all other laboratory results for each patient in the hospital are described. Including the microbiology results in this way allows provision of a consolidated flow sheet of all laboratory work on each chart, replacing the myriad single-sheet reports so common to manual systems. The results are tabulated, and are easily read by clinicians after some experience. This system also enables communication of updated results daily to clinicians and monitoring of infectious diseases in the hospital.
