A method of processing haematological laboratory data based on the IBM 870 system is described. As the cards are being punched with the identification particulars of the patient and source of the sample, a worksheet is automatically generated on which the tests are indicated. The results of the laboratory tests are recorded by the technician on the worksheet and reproduced on the punch cards which are subsequently used for the automatic printout of the results on self-adhesive preprinted labels. The resulting report is clear and legible and is transferred onto the request/report document. The data processing is carried out by clerk/typists who have been trained as punch card operators. The present workload of approximately 2,000 items of information obtained from some 170 samples per day is handled by one punch card operator in less than three hours. The punch cards are manipulated in a sorter for quality control purposes and are stored for subsequent retrieval of information.
描述了一种基于IBM 870系统处理血液学实验室数据的方法。当在卡片上打孔输入患者的识别信息和样本来源时，会自动生成一份工作表，上面标明了各项检测。实验室检测结果由技术人员记录在工作表上，并复制到穿孔卡片上，随后用于在自粘预印标签上自动打印结果。生成的报告清晰可读，并被转移到申请/报告文件上。数据处理由经过穿孔卡片操作员培训的职员/打字员进行。目前，每天从约170个样本中获取的约2000条信息的工作量，一名穿孔卡片操作员在不到三小时内即可完成。穿孔卡片在分类机中进行操作以进行质量控制，并进行存储以便后续检索信息。
