Computer-based physician order entry (CPOE) refers to a physician’s direct input of orders (medication and nonmedication) into an acute care (inpatient) automation system. We use physician order entry to emphasize that the ordering clinician — not someone operating on her behalf — needs to interact with the system.
Industry:Technology
A system that contains electronically maintained information about an individual’s health status and care. It focuses on tasks directly related to patient care, unlike other healthcare information systems that support providers’ and payers’ operational processes (which may, however, serve as source or feeder systems for the CPR). The CPR completely replaces the paper medical chart and thus must meet all clinical, legal and administrative requirements.

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) is an umbrella term for a collection of application development tools designed to increase programmer productivity. They include technologies such as application generators and PC-based workstations that provide graphics-oriented automation of the front end of the development process.
Industry:Technology
A system that presents a series of questions, thereby collecting data that traditionally would require a receptionist, a “traditional clipboard,” a nurse and a doctor. These systems use knowledge management and branching logic to tailor each session to the individual patient. Once the data is collected, it can be parsed, translated and highlighted. The clinician then has access to data prior to seeing the patient and can better direct the encounter.

Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is defined as the manufacturing of goods controlled and automated via computer and robot. Frequently used in conjunction with computer-aided design (CAD).
Industry:Technology
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) describes an area of automated manufacturing and design technology for building end products that had its roots in finite element methods, but today it includes all types of performance systems, e.g., heat transfer, structural, electromagnetic, aeronautics and acoustic analysis.
Industry:Technology
Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) programs are interactive graphic programs that automate the methodologies of drafting and design layouts. A few programs are successful enough so that it is difficult to justify designing layouts manually. Applications include integrated circuits and printed circuit boards.
Industry:Technology
A system in which digital data is converted into an image on dry processed microfilm.
Industry:Technology
Microfiche replacement system. COLD systems offer economies as a replacement medium when rapid or frequent access to archived documents is necessary. Typically, a 12-inch optical-disc platter holds approximately 1.4 million 8.5-by-11-inch pages of information, equal to 7,000 fiche masters.

The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a group formed in 1998 by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — and coordinated through Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI) — to research and report on Internet-related security problems. SEI’s CERT Coordination Center publishes security information and advisory bulletins through its website at www.cert.org.
