โฆ Synopsis
A system has been developed which allows for the easy display of information concerning tests performed in the alinical laboratory. The system is designed for use at nursing stations as well as in the clinical laboratory. The information which can be displayed includes: (1) general information, such as sample type, tube type and minimum sample volume; (2) price charged for the test; (3) special instructions, such as sample transportation, hours when test is available, and sample collection information; (4) normal or reference values for the results. The programs are written in FORTRAN IV and, together with the data files, require 422 kilobytes of storage space.

Methods for statistical quality control for the clinical laboratory in general, and radioimmunoassay in particular, have been proposed for many years. Unfortunately, only a very small number of laboratories have adapted these procedures. By use of teletypes and other remote terminals, it is possible
