Fast personal computer based retrieval system for a high-volume database of a radiology information system

The human factors aspects of a computer-based information storage and retrieval system were evaluated in three government intelligence services using questionnaire and interview techniques. It was found that many factors entered into satisfaction with the information system, including familiarity, ease of use, and importance. Other relevant factors included training in the use of the system, amount and type of information to meet needs in the system, and tolerances of individuals for irrelevant material in the output of searches. The interaction of these factors is discussed in relation to satisfaction with the system.

Desk Reference

A method is described which was designed to retrieve key facts as well as references in a computer-based pathology information system. The facts appear in the form of miniature abstracts which also serve as a machine-searchable index. This combined index-abstract provides a form suitable both for computer storage and retrieval as well as for a desk reference guide. One product of the system is the pilot edition of the Trace Metals Literature Index-Handbook which supplies data and references on elements, mostly trace metals, as they may be related to normal and pathologic conditions.

Computer Based

SummaryModern information technology offers new opportunities for the storage and manipulation of hospital information. A computer-based hospital information system, dedicated to urology and nephrology, was designed and developed in our center. It involves in principle the employment of a program that allows the analysis of non-restricted, non-codified texts for the retrieval and processing of clinical data and its operation by non-computer-specialized hospital staff.This Hospital Information System now plays a vital role in the efficient provision of a good quality service and is used in daily routine and research work in this hospital. This paper describes this specialized Hospital Information System.

Computer Based

The purpose of the Transportation Economic and Land Use System (TELUS) is to convert the transportation improvement program (TIP) into a management tool. Accordingly, the system provides detailed and easily accessible information on transportation projects in the region, as well as their interrelationships and impacts. By doing so, TELUS enables public-sector agencies to meet organizational, Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, state, and other mandates more effectively. The objectives are accomplished by providing the computer-based capability to analyze, sort, combine, and track transportation projects in or under consideration for a TIP; assessing the interrelationships among significant transportation projects; estimating the regional economic and land use effects of transportation projects; and presenting project information in an easily understood format, including geographic information system formats.
