 Hospital administration

A typical hospital administration system consists of the following

• Reservations
• Admissions
• Discharges
• Transfers
• Outpatient registration
• Pharmacy
• Medical records index
• Patient billing and accounting

AEI603.51 3
 Clinical Tests

• ECG , EEG and EMG have been subjected to automated

analysis by a computer

• In EEG analysis, the computer is useful for frequency

analysis, correlation analysis and averaging of evoked

potentials

 LABORATORY TESTS

• A laboratory system is an interactive data

management system

• Computerization increases the quality control and

decreases the transcription errors

AEI603.51 9
• Auto analyzer capable of measuring the
concentration of 18 or more chemical
substances in a single sample
is handled by computer
• Gas chromatograph mass spectrometer
(CGMS) used in clinical laboratory handled by
computer to record online results.
