Abstract
A microcomputer system was devised for storage and analysis of microbiology quality control data, using a system with 10 megabytes of disk storage capacity on a fixed disk. This provides rapid entry and retrieval of data and considerable storage capacity. Special programs were written in BASIC to accept QC data for media, reagents, and susceptibility tests. Rapid data entry is achieved by having a rapid access disk device with a terminal specifically for QC data. Results are entered daily or at times when tests are done and stored on the disk storage device. The data can be recalled for complete printing or summarization and weekly reports can be generated. This system has the potential to eliminate QC paperwork, thus conserving storage space, while allowing detailed retrospective analysis.
