Abstract
An attempt to integrate an online catalog for clinical laboratory tests in a university hospital medical computing environment is presented here. The need for such a catalog is evident, due to the dynamic changes in the area, new tests, and new test methods. Physicians are able to access the catalog through department terminals. The catalog has been designed and implemented as a relational database, including seven tables. Context-sensitive help screens are available at any step, as well as specific instructions for each laboratory.Keywords
