Future technologic advances in microcomputer hardware will allow us to build complex interactive information systems that go far beyond conventional laboratory management functions to address the needs of laboratorians as well as physicians in patient care activities. These systems will use a "local-area network to transmit not only text but also images to workstations throughout a hospital. Unlike current systems driven from a central computer, future systems will decentralize much of the memory and processing to individual workstations." The expansion of software tools for modeling the decision-making process coupled with the development and testing of useful systems in relatively narrow problem domains will help the laboratory construct the necessary knowledge bases for future applications. Such systems will present complex medical data in a useful, informative manner, leading to a more rapid, consistent, and, it is hoped, cost effective decision making process. Utilizing these techniques, laboratory medicine can play a crucial role in fostering the appropriate and logical use of the laboratory.
未来微型计算机硬件技术的进步将使我们能够构建复杂的交互式信息系统，这些系统远远超越传统的实验室管理功能，以满足实验室工作人员以及医生在患者护理活动中的需求。这些系统将使用“局域网”不仅传输文本，还传输图像到医院各处的工作站。与当前由中央计算机驱动的系统不同，未来的系统将把大部分内存和处理功能分散到各个工作站。”用于决策过程建模的软件工具的扩展，再加上在相对狭窄的问题领域中开发和测试有用的系统，将有助于实验室构建未来应用所需的知识库。这样的系统将以有用、信息丰富的方式呈现复杂的医学数据，从而实现更快速、一致且有望更具成本效益的决策过程。利用这些技术，检验医学在促进实验室的合理和逻辑使用方面可以发挥关键作用。
