Basic hardware and software components of computers are described and related concepts are defined using examples related to the hospital pharmacy department. Hardware components described include the central processing unit, storage devices, and input and output devices. System software, application software, computer language, and computer characteristics for hospital pharmacy systems are identified. Trends toward computer miniaturization, increased processing capacity at reduced costs, and new software technologies will enable an accelerated pace of new system development and implementation. Applications that are now difficult to justify because of high development cost or low benefit to the hospital will become more easily cost justified.
本文描述了计算机的基本硬件和软件组件，并通过与医院药房部门相关的示例定义了相关概念。所描述的硬件组件包括中央处理器、存储设备以及输入和输出设备。确定了医院药房系统的系统软件、应用软件、计算机语言和计算机特性。计算机小型化、以降低成本提高处理能力以及新软件技术的趋势将加快新系统开发和实施的步伐。目前由于开发成本高或对医院益处低而难以证明其合理性的应用程序将更容易在成本上得到合理证明。
