A new graphical user interface, MailMinder, was developed as a front-end for the Department of Veteran's Affairs Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP). This enhanced interface improves user efficiency and adds features to the existing DHCP electronic mail system.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • The Department of Veteran's Affairs Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP) is a widely used hospital information system.
  • The current DHCP interface is character-oriented and less mature than the system itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the successful integration of a mature graphical user interface (GUI) as a front-end to the DHCP system.
  • To enhance user efficiency and functionality within the DHCP electronic mail program.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MailMinder, a graphical user interface compatible with the existing DHCP electronic mail program, Mailman.
  • Evaluated MailMinder through limited deployment at five healthcare sites.

Main Results:

  • MailMinder demonstrated full compatibility with the unmodified DHCP electronic mail program.

  • Users experienced increased efficiency and gained additional features compared to the original interface.

    • Conclusions:

    • A mature graphical user interface can be effectively implemented as a front-end for existing hospital information systems like DHCP.
    • This approach offers significant improvements in user experience and system functionality, with implications for other hospital information systems.
