CATALOG

A CATALOG is a complete enumeration of items arranged systematically with descriptive details. A CATALOG is useful for finding things and for knowing what is available.  For all the intense effort to provide the most useful information to health care professionals at the point of care sometimes the CATALOG function is the most useful.
