A computer software package was developed to perform the calculations involved in compounding neonatal/pediatric parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions. A 16-bit micro-computer was used to develop and evaluate the software. The program requires a minimum of user input and is menu-driven. It performs the calculations, prints appropriate labels, a preparation card and a summary of the nutritional content of the solution. Error check routines and a check for calcium-phosphate compatibility are imbedded in the program. The effect of the package on PN compounding was evaluated using a computer model. The evaluation indicated the computer-assisted system was more efficient than a manual system and the possibility of computational error was reduced. The increase in efficiency with the computer-assisted system was between 12-15% compared to a manual system. Computer modeling appeared to be a useful tool in both evaluating the software package and determining the effect it would have on work flow.
开发了一个计算机软件包，用于执行配制新生儿/儿科肠外营养（PN）溶液所涉及的计算。使用一台16位微型计算机来开发和评估该软件。该程序所需的用户输入最少，且由菜单驱动。它进行计算，打印适当的标签、一张配制卡以及溶液营养成分的摘要。程序中嵌入了错误检查程序以及钙磷相容性检查。使用计算机模型评估了该软件包对PN配制的影响。评估表明，计算机辅助系统比手动系统更高效，并且减少了计算错误的可能性。与手动系统相比，计算机辅助系统的效率提高了12%至15%。计算机建模似乎是评估软件包以及确定其对工作流程影响的有用工具。
