Abstract
With the advent of hard disk microcomputer technology, on-line storage of a large surgical pathology data base is now Possible. We have developed an inexpensive, microcomputer-based, multi-user, hard disk system for surgical pathology which utilizes a commercially available word processor and data base management system. System functions include word processing with the generation of preliminary and final surgical reports, on-line access to a large surgical pathology data base, printing of daily secretarial and histology log sheets, and semi-automated SNOMED coding. Successful implementation of this system has already resulted in more efficient file management, both in the storage and retrieval of data.Keywords
