| Abstract | A dedicated microcomputer system has been in continuous use at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center neonatal intensive care unit since 1978. The equipment configuration is a Cromemco CPU based on the Zilog Z-80 processor, 1 MB of removable flexible disk storage, 22 MB of fixed hard disk storage, several standard CRT terminals, a Tektronix graphics terminal, and a Printronix 300-line-per-minute printer. This chapter briefly describes a number of applications that we have made at CSMC NICU of this microcomputer system in assisting direct patient care. |
