Popis: The Regenstrief Clinical Laboratory System (RCLS) has been operational since 1975 at Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana (a 580 bed facility). The clinician support, user interfaces, and use of a true data base management system distinguish this system from many commercially avaiIabIe laboratory systems. Physician reports include laboratory, clinic, pharmacy and radiology data in a single, compact flow sheet. The system can search patient medical records for conditions that may require corrective action and inform physicians of the reasons these actions should be considered. The site-specific modifications required to transport this system do not require re-programming. The system allows multiple specimen numbering sequences; identification of terms by name or number; unlimited amounts of free text; reports that can be tailored by non-programmer personnel; CAP accounting statistics; on-line instrument interfaces; and extensive on-line instructional facilities. The Regenstrief Clinical Laboratory System (RCLS) accomplishes most of the data capture, reporting and management functions expected of such systems, but it has a number of distinguishing features. These include: 1) its focus on usage by the clinician; 2) its accomodating user interface; 3) its roots in a true data base management system.
