Semi-automatic data processing in clinical chemistry.

A semi-automatic system for data processing in the Clinical Chemistry Department of the School of Pathology, Johannesburg, is outlined. Careful planning of workflow in the laboratory can provide a better interface of laboratory results with a manual cumulative reporting system in which technologists and clerks co-ordinate their activities. The system used provides a less tedious and less error-prone process via automatic printing facilities. This system achieves improved patient care in terms of quality control (data checks) and cumulative reporting of results. Facility for accounts and administration purpose are also incorporated. In our experience, semi-automatic data processing can provide a solution to the clerical problems generated by the introduction of automatic testing equipment. Hardware costs are minimal in comparison to fully automated systems, which utilize on-line or off-line computers.

Automatic data processing in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

A review of automatic data processing in the cardiac catherization lab is presented. The emphasis placed on on-line manometry, indicator dilution and off-line quantitative ventriculography. The system organization is described and several specific examples given to illustrate the level of detail necessary to specify such a system. The clinical use of the system is described together with an evaluation of the original design goals in terms of the actual performance of the system. A few unexpected benefits have emerged with respect to quality control and reliability, but one of the original design goals, speeding up the catheterization procedure, has proven to be unrealistic. The next logical steps in the software and hardware evolution are described with the emphasis placed on making the system a more effective tool for the clinician.

Automatic data processing equipment and services; conditions for federal financing participation--HCFA. Final Rule.

In September 1978, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS-then the Department of Health, Education and Welfare) published a regulation containing requirements that State and local governments must observe to claim Federal reimbursement for the costs of automatic data processing (ADP) equipment or services. The regulations are applicable to certain public assistance programs under the Social Security Act. The regulations were modified in February 1980 and in January 1986 to implement certain changes. These regulations change requirements for the claiming of Federal matching funds for the acquisition of ADP equipment or services in the administration of public assistances programs under the Social Security Act Titles I, IV, X, XIV, (AABD), XXIX and XX. The change modifies the regulations to conform to legislative changes, raises the HHS prior approval threshold for most State and local government acquisitions, and limits the types of documents which are subject to prior approval requirements. The purpose of the change is to: Simplify and make these regulations consistent, to the maximum extent possible, with those regulations that govern availability of Federal Financial Participation (FFP) at the enhanced matching rate for computerized systems that support programs under Titles IV-A, IV-D, and XIX of the Social Security Act; Allow States more flexibility in implementing small systems; and reduce paperwork.
