How computers are improving patient care. An overview of ways that computerization directly aids the provision of care.

Computerization of patient care is steadily increasing. Computers are an integral part of most clinical equipment, and ordinary personal computers are in growing use to run stand-alone clinical software. Further, the information systems that every hospital uses for financial and administrative functions are becoming integrated with those used for information management in diagnostic imaging, laboratory medicine, and other clinical services, allowing hospitalwide flow of information. Hospitals can improve quality of care by moving toward more widespread computerization.

HIS: the clinician's role.

In summary, it can be said that healthcare information systems are rapidly entering a period of technological change for a variety of legitimate reasons. In order to meet the required professional functionality, we believe workstation technology will have to be adapted. This need will require the active involvement of healthcare professional design teams in the creation and evolution of the workstation. The knowledgeable healthcare professional can augment and help assure the success of healthcare information systems departments during this challenging period.

Software standards improve flow of information.

Many healthcare organizations buy their microcomputers and software packages in a piece-meal fashion. As a result, single microcomputers cannot share information with other microcomputers, networks, or the central computer system. Designating compatible software packages and machines as standards for the institution ensures that hardware and software can communicate. These standards should be implemented across the institution and regularly updated so that users' needs are met.

MELVYL MEDLINE: reference service implications of an end-user search system.

The implementation of MELVYL MEDLINE, a successful online end-user system in the University of California (UC) health sciences libraries greatly enhanced the capabilities of reference desk service by providing immediate access to current medical literature from the MEDLINE database. With these enhancements, the extent of the impact on the delivery of reference service was not anticipated. Concurrent with providing traditional reference service requests, there was a constant need for individualized end-user instruction by MELVYL MEDLINE users, and continual maintenance of workstation equipment and supplies. This paper describes the experiences at the UC Irvine (UCI) Biomedical Library and compares these experiences with other UC health sciences libraries. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the issues which must be considered when planning for the implementation of an end-user system within the reference service function.
