What is Computer Systems Of Interest To Clinical Engineers about?

In recent years, many of the new advanced medical devices and systems are essentially computer-based. This fact, coupled with the increasing responsibilities for the acquisition and modification of computer hardware and software in the hospital, has made it critical for clinical engineers to become familiar not only with advances in computer technology but also those computer applications that directly affect patient care and the management of medical technology. This chapter focuses on medical computing applications that are of special interest to clinical engineers. The processing of information regarding equipment acquisition and maintenance information is of particular interest and importance to clinical engineering departments. The primary information required for any clinical decision consists of the medical data collected during the care of patients. These data are often processed in clinical laboratories that have historically provided the chemical, hematological, microbiological, and blood banking services for hospitalized patients and outpatients. The traditional organization of clinical laboratories includes the disciplines of hematology, chemistry, and microbiology. The
