Abstract
A medical system has a number of data processors which are allocated to medical organizational units of a similar type or of different types, these data processors being connected for data exchange. The medical system is operated such that data related to the medical system concerning time sequences for the flow of material and/or persons between the organizational units can be entered at individual or at all data processing units of the medical system, and can be retrieved immediately by each data processing means of the medical system, so that pre-planned flow sequences can be adjusted, as needed.
