Computerised databases in infection control.

THIS ARTICLE sets out to examine the potential uses of computer software in infection control, and also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using computers to enhance infection control in hospitals. The role of the infection control nurse is broadly categorised into one of advisory, education, research and surveillance (Law 1993, Worsley 1988). These categories are explored in relatio...

Toward an Approximation Theory for Computerised Control

This paper addresses the question of extending the usual approximation and sampling theory of continuous signals and systems to those encompassing discontinuities, such as found in modern complex control systems (mode switches for instance). We provide some evidence that the Skorokhod topology is a good candidate for dealing with those cases in a uniform manner by showing that, in the boolean c...

Evaluation of a computerised polysomnography system.

BACKGROUND Manual analysis of sleep, breathing, and oxygenation records is the "gold standard" for diagnosing sleep abnormalities but is time consuming and cumbersome. The accuracy and cost of a computerised sleep analysis system have therefore been investigated. METHODS Manual and computerised (CNS Sleep Lab) scores from 43 consecutive clinical sleep studies were prospectively compared for a...
