Abstract
In the clinical setting, it is imperative that the medical staff as well as certain support staff have ready access to patients' records and onβstudy data. Computerization of the clinical data must not deter nonβcomputerβoriented data users from getting at the information they need. In fact, the computer system should be designed for ease of operation by all potential users so that it becomes a valuable and unobtrusive aid to the clinical environment. This paper describes the workings of a microcomputer system at the Vermont Regional Cancer Center.
