Evaluation of the Tri-Service Laboratory System. Volume 1. Overview and Executive Summary.

Abstract

The military services, with the coordination of The Tri-Service Medical Information (TRIMIS) Program Office (TPO), have installed computerized medical laboratory systems (TRILAB) in three military hospitals: Naval Regional Medical Center (NRMC), Oakland; Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center (DDEAMC), Fort Gordon, Georgia; and Wright Patterson Medical Center And Regional Hospital (Wright-Patterson), Dayton, Ohio. The TRILAB system is designed to support the following laboratory activities: patient files, test order entry, specimen accesssioning and control, work document preparation, quality control, test result entry, inquiry and test retrieval, test result reporting at wards and clinics, and management reporting. The system is designed to have automated, high-volume test instruments on-line, with the goal of reducing clerical work of laboratory technicians and transcription errors, and to monitor quality control samples in order to check for correct calibration of instruments and proper handling of specimens within the laboratory. The system produces interim test result reports, daily cumulative reports, and cumulative summary discharge reports.
