Summary
Electronic data processing in laboratory diagnostics requires specific organizational systems. Project LOL 2 in Dresden demonstrates a comprehensive information system for ward and laboratory communication.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Laboratory Medicine
Background:
- Electronic data processing (EDP) offers potential for laboratory diagnostics.
- Implementing EDP necessitates defined organizational prerequisites and demands on laboratory systems.
- Clinical integration of EDP requires a robust laboratory information system.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline prerequisites for using electronic data processing in laboratory diagnostics.
- To formulate demands for clinic-side laboratory organization systems supported by EDP.
- To describe the "LOL 2" project for enhancing laboratory-clinic communication.
Main Methods:
- Explanation of prerequisites for electronic data processing in diagnostics.
- Formulation of principal demands for EDP-supported laboratory organization systems.
- Description of the "LOL 2" project, including findings establishment and teleprinting transmission.
Main Results:
- The "LOL 2" project addresses laboratory demands and patient-related findings.
- Teleprinting technology is utilized for transmitting findings to requirers.
- Initial implementation of the project is underway in district hospitals.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive information system is the aim for improved ward and laboratory communication.
- Successful implementation requires addressing both laboratory and clinical demands.
- The project "LOL 2" represents a step towards integrated health information systems.
