The concept of "one-stop information shopping" is becoming a reality at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. Our goal is to provide access from a single workstation to clinical, research, and library resources; university and hospital administrative systems; and utility functions such as word processing and mail. We have created new organizational units and installed a network of workstations that can access a variety of resources and systems on any of seventy-two different host computers/servers. In November 1991, 2,600 different individuals used the clinical information system, 700 different individuals used the library resources, and 900 different individuals used hospital administrative systems via the network. Over the past four years, our efforts have cost the equivalent of $23 million or approximately 0.5% of the total medical center budget. Even small improvements in productivity and in the quality of work of individuals who use the system could justify these expenditures. The challenges we still face include the provision of additional easy-to-use applications and development of equitable methods for financial support.
“一站式信息采购”的理念正在哥伦比亚长老会医学中心成为现实。我们的目标是通过单一工作站提供对临床、研究和图书馆资源、大学和医院管理系统以及诸如文字处理和邮件等实用功能的访问。我们创建了新的组织单位，并安装了一个工作站网络，该网络可以访问72台不同主机/服务器上的各种资源和系统。1991年11月，2600名不同的个人使用了临床信息系统，700名不同的个人使用了图书馆资源，900名不同的个人通过网络使用了医院管理系统。在过去四年中，我们的努力花费了相当于2300万美元的资金，约占医学中心总预算的0.5%。即使系统使用者的工作效率和工作质量有小幅提高，也能证明这些支出是合理的。我们仍然面临的挑战包括提供更多易于使用的应用程序以及开发公平的资金支持方法。
