Abstract
Approximately 15,000 lung function measurements are performed yearly on about 4,000 patients. The off-line automatic data processing (ADP) of the hand measured values is 4 years in use now and has resulted in:
-
a capacity increase of 20%,
-
a greater accuracy in calculation which implies an improvement of the quality of comparisons between patients’ data and reference values, and
-
a standardisation of the lung-function report.
