Despite the rapid advances in medical laboratory systems, little use is being made of computers or even programmable calculators in many small research laboratories. Many of these laboratories would benefit from the use of a small computer system to monitor their test procedures, handle their test result reporting, provide diagnostic decision support, maintain their data for later research purposes, and perform administrative support and billing functions. We have developed a laboratory information system which is currently being used by two state screening laboratories. We propose to modify this system to meet the needs of small research laboratories have in obtaining software is that it must be customized to their needs; this software would be user configurable so as to avoid the cost of creating custom software. During Phase I of this project we examined the needs of a set of small research laboratories, determined their common requirements, and designed the modifications to generalize our existing software to meet these needs. During Phase II of this project we will modify and rewrite our software, test the resulting generalized software in a variety of small laboratories, and making any further modifications required. We will produce extensive user documentation to allow the user to configure the final system without expert help.

尽管医学实验室系统发展迅速， 在许多小的计算机甚至可编程计算器中， 研究实验室。 这些实验室中的许多将受益于 一个利用小型计算机系统监控自己的测试程序，处理 他们的测试结果报告，提供诊断决策支持， 他们的数据用于以后的研究目的，并提供行政支持 和计费功能。 我们开发了一个实验室信息系统 目前有两个国家的筛查实验室正在使用该系统。 我们 我建议修改这个系统，以满足小型研究的需要 实验室在获得软件方面的一个重要问题是，它必须定制， 他们的需求;该软件将是用户可配置的，以避免 创建定制软件的成本。 在该项目的第一阶段，我们研究了一套小型 研究实验室，确定他们的共同要求，并设计 修改我们现有的软件以满足这些需求。 在本项目的第二阶段，我们将修改和重写我们的软件， 在各种小型实验室中测试所得到的通用软件， 并进行所需的任何进一步修改。 我们将提供广泛的 用户文档，允许用户配置最终系统， 专家帮助
