Whether caring for patients or conducting research, medical decision-makers need access to clinical data. To fulfill that need, commercial software developers have produced a wide range of database query tools that differ greatly in functionality and cost. Generally, tools that have a greater ability to conceal database complexity from the user also require more effort for administrative setup. We describe a cost-effective, commercially-available query tool that requires no special setup to perform most simple queries, yet can be customized to satisfy users' more complex querying requirements.
无论是照顾患者还是开展研究，医疗决策者都需要获取临床数据。为满足这一需求，商业软件开发人员已开发出了一系列功能和成本差异很大的数据库查询工具。一般来说，那些能更有效地向用户隐藏数据库复杂性的工具，在管理设置方面也需要付出更多努力。我们介绍一种经济高效的商用查询工具，它执行大多数简单查询时无需特殊设置，但也可进行定制以满足用户更复杂的查询要求。
