The clinical involvement of computer technology in medical center environment has been successfully utilized in the postoperative care of patients following open intracardiac operations. This report describes the initial experience in a community hospital with the adaptation and evaluation of such a system in the postoperative care of critically ill patients. The early experience with this noncomputerized system suggests the clinical usefulness of the approach, the potential increase in manpower utilization, and the greater utilization of the nursing staff in true patient care. The early results of the study do not indicate that this approach to patient care is necessarily economically feasible or technically applicable in all community hospitals.
计算机技术在医疗中心环境中的临床应用已成功用于心脏直视手术后患者的术后护理。本报告描述了一家社区医院在危重症患者术后护理中采用和评估该系统的初步经验。这种非计算机化系统的早期经验表明了该方法的临床实用性、人力利用的潜在增加以及护理人员在真正的患者护理中的更多利用。该研究的早期结果并未表明这种患者护理方法在所有社区医院中必然在经济上可行或在技术上适用。
