A word processor-based pathology reporting system

B R Hieb

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A new pathology report system using a programmable word processor increased secretarial report production by 60%. This system streamlines preliminary and final report generation and archiving without needing a separate computer.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Information Systems

    Background:

    • Traditional pathology report generation can be time-consuming and inefficient.
    • Existing systems may require dedicated hardware or complex integration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a pathology report generating system.
    • To evaluate the efficiency gains of a programmable word processing system for pathology reporting.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a pathology reporting system on a programmable word processing system (Wang OIS-140).
    • Utilized shared logic, multistation word processing capabilities.
    • Supported preliminary and final draft printing and automated index card production.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a 60% increase in report production by secretarial staff compared to previous magnetic card typewriter systems.
