title: Automation and cost recovery in a biomedical communications department.
abstract: The current demands on the modern biomedical communications department are to provide a faster and better service and, at the same time, keep costs to a minimum. One way of tacking this problem is to automate production procedures and record keeping, using the latest technology. An account is given of how the department in The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is successfully addressing this problem.
