Abstract
The creation of appropriate man-machine interfaces is critical if computers are to aid clinicians through high speed, highly flexible data organization. In theory, the computer, through data management approaches, could display the critical data for one or more patients on a single CRT. The same management scheme that provides instantaneous review for immediate therapy could provide answers to long range research questions. Data would not be duplicated nor would it exist on multiple forms. Communication between clinician and computer must be developed to provide smooth and reliable exchange of information. The overall approach in this work is to analyze the requirements of clinicians in clinical data management. Creation of computer systems and training in their use should provide enhancement of care delivery.
