the personal computer that controls the scanner; it compresses the bitmap file created by the scanner | Scanning workstation |
data taken from a primary source, (such as the medical record) and abstracted into another database or registry. Examples include cancer registry, MPI, and disease index | Secondary data |
used to create and manipulate relational databases | Structured query language |
the format of a bar code | symbology |
pages that are blank except for a bar code that will tell the scanner and ultimately the computer the content of the pages that follow | Target sheet |
Technology that allows computers to add and extract value from document content as the documents move throughout an organization | Workflow technology |
write once, read many; the use of this technology prevents the user from altering what is stored, but the data can be viewed as many times as necessary | WORM technology |
