MUMPS applications in doctor's office systems

As basic elements of an information network in ambulatory care, doctor's office computers are currently being tested in various hardward and software configurations. MUMPS has proved to be most effective in developing complex text-oriented application packages on small-scale computers. Separation of program and text modules increased the flexibiltiy necessary to serve different medical specialities. The final goal of the project is improved economic and organizational efficiency in the management of ambulatory care. The field test is supported by the German government (DOMINIG DVM 404).
