title: Computer programs in histopathology record keeping.
abstract: Increasing work loads, changes in the nature of data obtained from biopsies, and the use of laboratory statistics in determining financial provision for pathological services combine to enhance the value of computer generated results and indexing in histopathology. The system described here depends on an indexed file system using the Basic Plus-2 language with a PDP-11 computer and SNOP. Error traps are included. The system is designed for secretarial use, SNOP coding being carried out by medical staff.
