Giancarlo Carini, Gian Luca Manini, Stefano Urbinati, Michele Ruffini, Giuseppe Pinelli · 2002
The features of a computerized system for the management of an outpatient cardiology clinic are described. The local area network (LAN) is based on the ETHERNET standard, with a minicomputer Unisys 5000/95 as the central unit and several PCs and videoterminals as workstations. The operating systems are UNIX System V.3 and MS-DOS. The relational database management system (RDBMS) is ORACLE, and for data analysis and retrieval the SQL-Plus language is used. The PCs can act as independent workstations, using the MS-DOS operating system and standard software packages for office automation. The program manages appointments, patient records, and laboratory test reports.>
