    Abstract:
    Medical knowledge has been increasing and diversifying on a worldwide scale, while specialization of physicians has been extended vigorously. The knowledge has extended beyond the memory of human beings, there by causing the deterioration of service, called "Knowledge crisis". To tackle this problem, the electronic medical textbook(EMT) has been conceived and set up as a medical knowledge base for physician to optimize their specialties and activities in clinical practice. The doctors' diagnostic process is to be mentioned as the solution of backward problem, to speculate problem such as disease by the information observed from symptoms and findings. The EMT is more powerful tool for diagnosis than experiences or textbook that will aid for specifying the name of disease by arranging and combining information. Meanwhile, laboratory information systems are widely introduced. However, there are few systems which allow interpretation of the findings obtained. With this in mind, we have improved the utility of the EMT by enhancing its function with laboratory information follow-up, thesaurus back-up, Japanese language support, and on-line access. It made use of these experiences, we compiled an clinical laboratory handbook "Kensa Koujien", and developed retrieval system.
