The CompuLab Laboratory Information System provides a well-organized,
easy-to-use, flexible patient record.  A patient's demographics, orders, 
results, and charges are easily viewed, even by the inexperienced.  
The system is designed for clear, simple patient record updating to 
facilitate maintaining current, accurate complete information, whether the 
sytem is utilized stand-alone or interfaced with a hospital information 
system.
