Plain-English summary

A new computer system has been created to help veterinary diagnostic laboratories manage and report information about tests they perform on animals. This system is designed to collect and store a lot of data efficiently, making it easier for veterinarians to quickly find and share both positive and negative test results. The goal is to improve how labs handle information so that they can provide faster and more accurate diagnoses for pets. This development is expected to enhance the overall efficiency of veterinary care.

Abstract

Substantial data collected from large numbers of accessions, the need for comprehensive reporting of negative as well as positive laboratory findings, and the necessity for obtaining rapid diagnostic correlations prompted the development of a computer based system of accession data management for collection, storage, rapid retrieval, reporting, concording, and administrative compiling in a state-university Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory.
