Abstract
An intent is stated to discuss the developmental history and social impact of computer information retrieval systems on the hospital setting with primary area of focus being the Pharmacy Department. The interrelationship among various areas in the hospital setting are considered for need and cost/benefit associated with the use of a computerized information retrieval system.
A Case Study of St. Joseph Hospital is presented in example of evaluative consideration for implementation of a computerized information retrieval system.
Different forms of the "state-of-the-art" in informational systems are considered for their effective impact on cost/ benefit ratios to patient care and hospital operation, and also their adaptability to future advances in the computer field. A summary of findings and recommendations is presented .
