Conclusion
The developed computerized system improves sample identification and data management in clinical laboratories.
Supporting Evidence
- The system allows for positive sample identification and on-line analytical result acquisition.
- Using floppy discs for data exchange simplifies information retrieval for clinical research.
- The integration of local and central systems enhances the efficiency of laboratory operations.
Takeaway
This study shows how a lab can use computers to handle patient samples better and faster, making it easier to get test results.
Methodology
The study describes a computerized system for managing patient samples and results in a clinical chemistry laboratory.
Limitations
Manual input is still required in cases of optical reading failure, which can lead to human error.
