Abstract
As medical knowledge has expanded and the acuity of hospitalized patients has increased, physicians have had an ever-increasing amount of patient data to evaluate and assess. One result from this expansion of knowledge has been the application of computers for classification and analysis. The computerized pharmacy alerting system at LDS Hospital [1] has gained wide physician acceptance and is now financially subsidized by the hospital administration.Keywords
