Abstract:

Objective To realize information management in clinical microbiology laboratories. Methods A development tool,Microsoft Visual Studio 2010,was adopted to establish information management procedures of clinical microbiology laboratories. The application of two-dimension barcode and turn around time statistics realized the information management of operation process. Results The paperless of microbiological tests, the controllability of information and the traceability of test results were realized and improved,which met the needs of clinicians for the timely diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases,the management of antimicrobial drugs and the management of drug-resistant bacterium infection. Conclusions Two-dimension barcode for information management procedures of clinical microbiology laboratories changes original manual operation processes of microbiological tests,reduce error rates,enhance test quality effectively and realize the information management in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Key words: Two-dimension barcode, Microbiology, Information management system
