The focus of this article is a description of a management information system (MIS) designed to handle the task of matching physical therapy students with clinical education facilities in fulfillment of clinical requirements of the physical therapy curriculum. The use of a specialized MIS for the assignment of physical therapy students to clinical sites has resulted in a high degree of suitable placements, pairing students' needs with the resources of clinical sites. Multiple applications of the system to the placement task also have resulted in successful matching. The clinical placement system was designed to facilitate adaptation to an automated system in the future. Applications of the proposed computer-assisted placement system and the advantages of such a system in terms of administration and research in clinical education also are presented.
本文的重点是描述一个管理信息系统（MIS），该系统旨在处理将物理治疗专业学生与临床教育机构进行匹配的任务，以满足物理治疗课程的临床要求。使用专门的MIS将物理治疗专业学生分配到临床实习点，已实现了高度合适的安置，使学生的需求与临床实习点的资源相匹配。该系统在安置任务中的多次应用也取得了成功匹配的结果。临床安置系统的设计旨在便于未来适应自动化系统。本文还介绍了所提议的计算机辅助安置系统的应用及其在临床教育管理和研究方面的优势。
