We have developed a 24-hour ordering system for clinical examinations, making use of the features of multi-function workstation (IBM5550) which performs two functions both in an on-line terminal and in a personal computer. It is used as an on-line terminal for the host computer (IBM4381) in day time. At night or on holiday, it is used as a stand-alone type personal computer to order clinical examinations. For this purpose, basic information of the inpatients (patient number, name, sex, date of birth, clinic, ward) are transferred from the host computer to the disket in the workstation in the evening when host computer finished on-line service. A physician can input the patient number followed by examination items using the touch panel according to the dialogue type guides written in Chinese character. Then, specimen label, list of ordered tests and an order form are printed out instantly. The date (patient number, examination items, identification number of the specimen, etc.) stored in the disket in the workstation at night are transferred from workstation to the host computer next morning. The host computer merges the information ordered in day time and at night and supplies working documents for examination (worksheets, master log, etc.) to technicians. Thus physicians can order examinations all day long using workstation, which make it possible to spare the time.
我们利用多功能工作站（IBM5550）的特性开发了一种临床检查24小时订购系统，该工作站在联机终端和个人计算机中都能执行两种功能。白天，它用作主机（IBM4381）的联机终端。晚上或节假日，它用作独立式个人计算机来订购临床检查。为此，当主机在晚上完成联机服务后，住院患者的基本信息（患者编号、姓名、性别、出生日期、科室、病房）从主机传输到工作站的磁盘中。医生可以根据用汉字编写的对话式指南，通过触摸面板输入患者编号，然后输入检查项目。然后，标本标签、订购测试列表和订单表格会立即打印出来。晚上存储在工作站磁盘中的数据（患者编号、检查项目、标本识别号等）在第二天早上从工作站传输到主机。主机将白天和晚上订购的信息合并，并向技术人员提供检查工作文件（工作表、主日志等）。因此，医生可以使用工作站全天订购检查，这节省了时间。
