Abstract

The role of a clinical workstation is examined as an integral part of a larger, clinical information delivery and acquisition system. Different care scenarios and environmental factors influence the behavior of a workstation. The common functional components of a workstation are information resources, application logic and presentation. A workstation is successful when each of its components operates within an information architecture and contributes to meet user needs. New technologies to integrate and display information are making the workstation functions independent of the actual hardware and software platform.
