Although the concept of distributed systems for the storage of patient data is more and more commonly accepted, for some considerable time yet most patient data will be stored in centralized rather than departmental systems. An important advantage of storage in a central system is hospital-wide access to much of the patient data. Disadvantages are however that these data cannot be reviewed through one user interface, and that the structure of the data does not lend itself to exploitation for other purposes. We describe the implementation of an Andrology Research Information System in which these data are integrated in a well-structured database facilitating multiple views on the patient data through a graphical user interface, and clinical research, quality control and summary reports. The data can be analyzed directly using the Hermes workstation. In this way the strengths of the centralized system are combined with those of the dedicated ARIS system.
尽管用于存储患者数据的分布式系统概念越来越被广泛接受，但在相当长的一段时间内，大多数患者数据仍将存储在集中式而非部门级系统中。中央系统存储的一个重要优势是全院范围内可访问大部分患者数据。然而，缺点是这些数据无法通过一个用户界面进行查看，并且数据结构不便于用于其他目的。我们描述了一个男科学研究信息系统的实施情况，在该系统中，这些数据被集成到一个结构良好的数据库中，通过图形用户界面便于对患者数据进行多视角查看，并可用于临床研究、质量控制和生成总结报告。这些数据可直接使用Hermes工作站进行分析。通过这种方式，集中式系统的优势与专用ARIS系统的优势得以结合。
