This paper describes a project to specify, design, develop, and evaluate a physician's workstation for use in patient care. We conducted an ethnographic study of physicians' information needs in an outpatient setting, from which we derived a set of functional specifications for a physician's workstation. We have implemented an experimental prototype using an open systems, client/server architecture, and are exploring research issues in heterogeneous database integration, object-oriented database technology, model-based reasoning, and semantic integration. We plan to evaluate our workstation prototype in a clinical setting to assess its impact on quality of care and health care costs.
本文描述了一个用于指定、设计、开发和评估供患者护理使用的医生工作站的项目。我们对门诊环境中医师的信息需求进行了人种学研究,从中得出了一套医生工作站的功能规范。我们使用开放系统、客户/服务器架构实现了一个实验原型,并正在探索异构数据库集成、面向对象数据库技术、基于模型的推理和语义集成方面的研究问题。我们计划在临床环境中评估我们的工作站原型,以评估其对护理质量和医疗保健成本的影响。
