MUMPS as an education tool
Abstract:
The department of Medical Informatics at the Free University is, in addition to research, responsible for the education of medical students in medical-information processing. The Department has a PDP 11/70 running part-time under MUMPS-11 V4B, and since 1978 has had a PDP 11/60. A set of medical education programs has been developed consisting of: (a) A simple introduction to MUMPS. (b) A patient-census module. (c) A neonatal module. (d) A dental data-base. In this paper the educational programs are outlined and examples of their use are given.
Insights
Medical Informatics education utilizes MUMPS-11 V4B on PDP computers. Developed programs cover MUMPS introduction, patient census, neonatal care, and dental databases for medical students.
Area of Science:

Background:
- The Department of Medical Informatics at the Free University integrates research with medical student education.
- Focus on medical-information processing is a key component of their curriculum.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline a set of developed medical education programs.
- To provide examples of the practical application of these educational tools.
Main Methods:
- Utilized PDP 11/70 and PDP 11/60 computer systems.
- Employed MUMPS-11 V4B for program development and execution.
- Created modular educational programs for specific medical topics.
Main Results:
- Developed four distinct educational modules: MUMPS introduction, patient census, neonatal care, and a dental database.
- Demonstrated the utility of these programs through practical examples.
Conclusions:
