    This study presents a microcomputer program for autopsy pathology data management, offering an affordable alternative to mainframe systems. The software efficiently stores, codes, and retrieves patient diagnoses using the Systematized Nomenclature of Pathology (SNOP) for streamlined reporting.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Computer Science

    Background:

    • Traditional anatomic pathology data storage relies on costly mainframe systems.
    • Efficient management and retrieval of pathology data are crucial for clinical and research purposes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a cost-effective microcomputer-based program package for autopsy pathology data management.
    • To enable efficient storage, coding, and retrieval of patient demographic and diagnostic data.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a microcomputer program package for autopsy pathology.
    • Integration of an on-line Systematized Nomenclature of Pathology (SNOP) code lexicon for diagnosis coding.
    • Implementation of data storage for patient demographics, diagnoses, and SNOP codes.

  • Inclusion of text editor functions and rapid data retrieval capabilities.

    • Main Results:

    • The system successfully stores patient demographic data, diagnoses, and SNOP codes.
    • Limited text editor functions are incorporated for data manipulation.
    • Rapid data retrieval is achieved, facilitating the generation of final reports.
    • Data files are easily searchable by various parameters, ensuring efficient autopsy material retrieval.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed microcomputer-based system provides a viable and efficient alternative to expensive mainframe systems for anatomic pathology data.
    • The program enhances the simplicity and efficiency of autopsy data management and retrieval using SNOP coding.
