title: [Computerized management of information in the microbiology section of a hospital laboratory. Personal experience].
abstract: We installed in our microbiology laboratory a new computerized management system with a dedicated software for the needs of the department. The system allow us to give to the clinician the reports of microbiological data in a shorter time and to store them permanently. The computer system doesn't modify the existing organization of work, samples acceptance, execution of microbiological and serological tests and the report of the results, but make them faster, safer and more efficient. The system also shows the possibilities of epidemiological researches and statistical studies. These data are very interesting and useful for the relationship between the laboratory and general wards.
