The Human Materials .Resources information System (HUMARIS) is the computer-based automated medical data activity of the National Cancer Institute’s Human Tissue Procurement Program.

The system is designed to process, store, and retrieve the clinical and investigative information from as many as 1,500 surgical and autopsy cases per year, providing diagnostic lists, case summaries, inventories, statistical reports, bactériologie resumes, and extensive administrative records as routine machine output. The opportunity for research utilization of data is unlimited.

A relatively simple but effective medical data acquisition system is described.

HUMARIS — Abkürzung von Human Materials .Resources Information System — ist das automatisierte Datenverarbeitungs-Projekt des Vermittlungsprogramms für menschliches Gewebe des National Cancer Institute.

Das System ist dazu bestimmt, klinische und wissenschaftliche Informationen von jährlich ca. 1500 Biopsien und Autopsien zu verarbeiten, zu speichern und wiederaufzufinden und Diagnosenlisten, Ubersichten, Bestandsaufnahmen, statistische Berichte, Anweisungen für die bakteriologische Weiterverarbeitung und eingehende Verwaltungsberichte routinemäßig auszudrucken. Die Möglichkeit der wissenschaftlichen Nutzung der Daten ist unbeschränkt.

Die Arbeit beschreibt das relativ einfache, aber effektive System der Verarbeitung medizinischer Daten.
