HELP: A Dynamic Hospital Information System

The HELP (Health Evaluation through Logical Processing) system is a computerized hospital information system developed by the authors at the LDS Hospital at the University of Utah, USA. It provides clinical, hospital administration and financial services through the use of a modular, integrated design. This book thoroughly documents the HELP system. Chapters discuss the use of the HELP system in intensive care units, the use of APACHE and APACHE II on the HELP system, various clinical applications and inactive or experimental HELP system modules.
