Setting up a Microcomputer in a small Occupational Health Department
Senior Registrar, Eastern Health Board Belfast, UK
The cost of microcomputers has fallen dramatically in recent years with the result that many small Occupational Health (OH) departments have turned to computerization. Occupational Health physicians with little if any previous computing experience may be called upon to oversee the introduction of a computer into an OH department and subsequently decide upon relevant equipment purchase. This article discusses the necessary hardware and software which would allow the development of a powerful and worthwhile OH computer system for a modest outlay.
