Ever since the early 1960s, the medical world has awaited the promise of computerization. Many of us were fascinated by the efforts of the pioneers: Homer Warner's computerized diagnosis system, Octo Barnett's medical information system, Howard Bleich's automated acid/base consultant, and Warner Slack's history-taking program were foretastes of what was to come. At first, however, physicians and hospital personnel resisted the computer because it was too slow, too fragile, too awkward, or too costly. But in the late '70s, computerized order-entry systems began to appear throughout hospitals - in clinical laboratories, pharmacies, and even on the wards. The trend toward hospital information systems, which was only a trickle five years ago, is now a steady tide.
