Johns Hopkins Hospital created a distributed clinical information system integrating diverse computer systems. This system uses remote procedure calls (RPC) for efficient distributed application development across networks.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Health Informatics
  • Distributed Systems

Background:

  • Integrating disparate clinical information systems presents significant technical challenges.
  • The need for seamless data exchange between heterogeneous computing environments in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a distributed clinical information system at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
  • To detail the implementation of a distributed model using interprocess communications.
  • To showcase the application of remote procedure calls (RPC) for integrating diverse computer systems.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a distributed clinical information system integrating UNIX, IBM MVS/CICS, and MUMPS.
  • Utilization of interprocess communications over Ethernet for distributed application development.
