title: The human element in the design of computer-assisted orthopedic inpatient medical record systems.
abstract: It is possible to vastly improve the quality of the "final product" of medical record processing by use of word and data base processing systems without traditional programming and expensive mainframe computers. Human engineering features need to be addressed first, since these form the basis of the system for obtaining quality data. Successful operations of the system is dependent upon a close working relationship between the staff of the medical record department and the medical staff.
