The role of computers in assisting physicians with patient care is rapidly advancing. One of the significant obstacles to efficient use of computers in patient care has been the unavailability of reasonably configured portable computers. Lightweight portable computers are becoming more attractive as physician data-management devices, but still pose a significant problem with bedside use. The advent of computers designed to accept input from a pen and having no keyboard present a usable computer platform to enable physicians to perform clinical computing at the bedside. This paper describes a prototype system to maintain an electronic "scut" sheet. SCUT makes use of pen-input and background rule checking to enhance patient care. GO Corporation's PenPoint Operating System is used to implement the SCUT project.
计算机在协助医生进行患者护理方面的作用正在迅速发展。在患者护理中有效使用计算机的一个重大障碍是合理配置的便携式计算机的缺乏。轻便的便携式计算机作为医生数据管理设备正变得越来越有吸引力，但在床边使用时仍存在重大问题。设计用于接受笔输入且没有键盘的计算机的出现提供了一个可用的计算机平台，使医生能够在床边进行临床计算。本文描述了一个用于维护电子“医嘱”单的原型系统。“医嘱”系统利用笔输入和后台规则检查来改善患者护理。GO公司的PenPoint操作系统用于实现“医嘱”项目。
