The
invention of computers has brought the revolution of Information Technology
(IT). As the numerous benefits of using computers become well-known, they are
now being adopted in many unconventional areas too. One of these kinds is hospital
and medical research. These are some computers used in hospitals and medical
research :
1 Handling
Medical Data
Computers are used to keep data collection and
storage of a patient's medical history. Computers can help update the medical
history of patients. Computers can also be used for hospital accounting and
billing process more efficient and accurate.
2 Scaning
and Imaging
Computers can help in carrying out precise tests and
medical examinations. Tests are medical procedures where specified components
of the human bodies are scanned. A test can be as simple as a regular blood
test or it can be a complex CT scan.
3 Examination
and Monitoring
Computers can control or monitor patients and
provide medical alerts, which are more accurate. In many cases, doctors and
surgeons also use sophisticated computer-aided equipment to treat their
patients. Such as systems and procedures include bone scan procedure, prenatal
ultrasound imaging, blood glucose monitors and blood pressure monitors.
4 Preparation
of research documents
Computers
assist in the preparation, revision and formatting of research documents,
reducing the time spent on the paper work associated with research.
5 Data
gathering
Computer
assisted interviewing allow the researcher to capture the data immediately in
the computer in a usable format.
6 Computer
assisted instruction
Computer
assisted learning occurs when the teaching function of communicating
informationsto a researcher is done by a computer system without direct
interaction with the researcher.
7 Simulation
Presents
the researcher with a real life situation on the computer. It has been found to
provide an equivalent-to-clinical experience in promoting the development of
decision making skills.
