Summary

Portable decision support systems (DSSs) are crucial in medical informatics. The Adrenal Test Retrieval and Analysis System (ATRAS) offers a system-independent DSS, unifying access to diverse electronic medical record systems via the World Wide Web Electronic Medical Record System (W3-EMRS) architecture.
