A physician oriented method for clinical information retrieval

Michael J. Smith and Richard P. Levy

American Documentation, 1968, vol. 19, issue 1, 90-94

Abstract: A system is described whereby a physician can, by use of a simple language, effectively search a large amount of active clinical patient data. The language, which is in everyday use has been found to be easily learnable. The language allows partitioning a file in a number of different ways, thus permitting the chronology of a patient's record to be a search parameter. The output from the search provides a count of the documents searched, the proportion that satisfy the search, and the identifying numbers of those documents which contain the desired information. At the option of the user, the output may be supplemented by all or part of those documents which met the requirements of the search.
