'Clinical workstations', increasingly described as pivotal components of information systems for patient care, can be characterized as providing several major functions: access to data, presentation of data, computation (including medical decision logic), entry of data, and combinations of the above, integrated appropriately for various clinical situations. Because workstation technology is developing rapidly on many fronts and the demands on health-care organizations are growing, it is increasingly unlikely that any single total-system solution can effectively meet the needs. This paper discusses some of the issues pertinent to the integration of non-proprietary workstations with proprietary hospital systems. The approach of a particular vendor, the role of a meta-database, user interface design standards, and some problems consequent to the new technologies are discussed.
“临床工作站”日益被视为患者护理信息系统的关键组成部分，其主要功能包括：数据访问、数据呈现、计算（包括医疗决策逻辑）、数据录入，以及将上述功能以适合各种临床情况的方式进行合理整合。由于工作站技术在多个方面迅速发展，且医疗保健机构的需求不断增加，单一的全系统解决方案越来越难以有效满足这些需求。本文讨论了与非专有工作站和专有医院系统集成相关的一些问题。文中探讨了特定供应商的方法、元数据库的作用、用户界面设计标准以及新技术带来的一些问题。
