Summary time oriented record (stor) -- a node in a local area network

The STOR ambulatory record system remains committed to its original principles of prioritization of information, time orientation, and inter-physician communication. It has been expanded to provide a sophisticated user help system, to provide extensive interactive access to its database to augment its hardcopy output, and to function as an interface to the UCSF distributed hospital information system. The complex and difficult application level issues of effectively using a distributed database accessed through a local area network are being dealt with. In a limited context, the major question of whether physicians would accept the change STOR imposes on the way they record and display clinical data has been answered.
