IBM System 34 (central processing unit, 128 kilobytes; fixed disks, 128.4 megabytes) with seven cathode-ray tubes has been used by our clinical laboratories for the last 30 months. All data-entry programs are in a conversational mode, for on-line corrections of possible errors in patient identification and results. Daily reports are removed from the medical records after temporary and permanent cumulative weekly reports are received, which keep a three-month track of the results. The main advantages of the system are: (a) the increasing laboratory work load can be handled with the same staff; (b) the volume of the medical record files on the patients is decreased; (c) an easily retrievable large data base of results is formed for research purposes; (d) faster billing; and (e) the computer system is run without engaging any additional staff.
在过去30个月里，我们的临床实验室一直在使用配备七个阴极射线管的IBM System 34（中央处理器，128千字节；固定磁盘，128.4兆字节）。所有数据输入程序均为对话模式，以便对患者识别和结果中可能出现的错误进行在线更正。在收到临时和永久性的每周累积报告后，每日报告将从病历中移除，这些报告可对结果进行为期三个月的跟踪。该系统的主要优点包括：(a) 增加的实验室工作量可以由相同的工作人员处理；(b) 患者病历文件的体积减小；(c) 形成了一个便于检索的大型结果数据库用于研究目的；(d) 计费更快；以及 (e) 运行计算机系统无需额外聘请任何工作人员。
