Abstract

Hospitals and their clinical laboratories have been a major area for application of the advances in computer technology of the last decade. In particular, hospital information systems (HIS) and the numeric results produced by clinical chemistry and hematology laboratories have been well served by a wide variety of computer hardware and software systems. Fewer satisfactory systems have been developed for clinical microbiology laboratories primarily due to the increased complexity of both the workflow in the laboratory and the unique formatting requirements of patient reports. Adaptations of systems designed primarily to handle numeric data have generally not been successful in clinical microbiology.
