Laboratory computers have expanded in potential and are now capable of handling a communication system to support patient care. New technics and interactive software to expand this function are described and were developed because of serious deficiencies discovered in the hospital laboratory operation. New concepts in ordering of tests, collection and identification of samples, reporting of results, and retrieval of data are described.
