Learning to Use a Computer at Shafter Drug Store
Ted Wiedmann oversees the Texas Instruments 990 Computer installed over a year ago at Shafter Drug Store. The system stores 100 megabytes of prescription and financial data with two 50 megabyte drives, enabling a full year of records. RNA Corp trainers taught Ted and Steve Potter, who then trained others. the team uses two consoles for prescription and office tasks, with modules for patient data, insurance, doctor instructions, and allergy checks. The plant can flag wrong bottle labels, manage accounts, payroll, and vendor payments, and is expandable. ongoing learning continues as new programs are added and workflows improve.
