The use of minicomputers dedicated to laboratory use offers the greatest hope for continued progress in computerization of clinical microbiology. Such systems can be interfaced with microcomputers performing discrete tasks within the laboratory and with larger computers to form a total hospital or interhospital information system. As such systems are designed they should include features that allow ready access to the microbiologic data without reentry of primary results or delays of days to weeks. Many of these features have been accomplished in existing laboratory systems.
使用专门用于实验室的小型计算机为临床微生物学的计算机化持续进步带来了最大希望。这样的系统可以与在实验室中执行离散任务的微型计算机以及大型计算机相连接，以形成一个完整的医院或医院间信息系统。在设计此类系统时，应具备一些功能，以便能够随时访问微生物学数据，而无需重新输入原始结果或等待数天至数周的延迟。现有实验室系统已经实现了其中许多功能。
