Online Ordering Instead of mailing, faxing, or walking over the old Excel spreadsheet version of the departmental order form, you can now use a Web browser to do all your ordering online. Well, worry now longer. You can now do a surgical path number search online simply by entering the organ and diagnosis of interest. An intranet is nothing more than a tiny subset of the great big internet. Intranets are useful for information storage and retrieval on very small scales - as in intradepartmental levels of organization.
Intranets save paper, leg work, and time.
Best of all, it doesn't matter if you're on a Mac, PC, or UNIX workstation - as long as you have Netscape or Microsoft Explorer, you're ready to access the intranet. For Medical Pathology, we have used the intranetting concept to create interactive databases. For now, we have created online ordering and autopsy searches. However, in the near future we plan to impliment the many more intranet schemes to make your life a little easier. Since the data contained on our databases are only departamentally related, we have restricted access to those affiliated with Medical Pathology.
