Computer-retrievable surgical pathology files. A low-cost, shareable system.

J Myers

    Archives of Pathology
    |October 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tissue pathologists can now implement cost-efficient, computer-retrievable surgical pathology file systems. Developed in FORTRAN for broad compatibility, this system addresses time and programming skill barriers for pathology computerization.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science in Medicine
    • Pathology Informatics
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Pathologists require efficient data management for surgical pathology files.
    • Existing systems lack cost-effectiveness and accessibility for pathology departments.
    • Barriers to computerization include cost information scarcity and programming expertise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a cost-efficient, computer-retrievable system for surgical pathology files.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of pathology computerization considering affordability and shareability.
    • To overcome challenges in developing pathology informatics systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a computer system prioritizing cost efficiency.
    • Utilized FORTRAN programming language for maximum compatibility across time-sharing computers.
    • Focused on creating a system that is both affordable and shareable.

    Main Results:

    • A functional computer-retrievable system for surgical pathology files was developed.
    • The system is designed for cost-efficiency and broad usability.
    • FORTRAN programming ensures compatibility with most time-sharing computer systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerization is a workable solution for pathology data management.
    • The developed system addresses key barriers of cost and technical skill.
    • Implementing such systems enhances efficiency and accessibility in surgical pathology.
