This study introduces new C++ class libraries based on the M programming language. These libraries enhance healthcare record application development by managing hierarchical data, offering an alternative to legacy systems.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • The M (or Mumps) programming language, popular in healthcare, faces limitations due to its 1960s syntax.
  • Existing efforts to update M prioritize legacy application compatibility, hindering evolution.
  • The core M language structure is increasingly seen as inadequate for modern applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an alternative approach to the M programming language.
  • To preserve essential M features while enabling transportability and OS independence.
  • To enhance the C++ programming environment for healthcare record applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a set of operating system-independent C++ class libraries.
  • Based these libraries on the M programming language.

  • Focused on features facilitating hierarchical data management in healthcare.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated an alternative to traditional M implementations.
    • Created C++ libraries that are transportable and OS-independent.
    • Enabled management of hierarchical data typical in healthcare at a high abstraction level.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed C++ libraries offer a viable evolution path for M's core features.
    • These libraries enhance C++ for healthcare record applications, managing complex data structures.
    • A pilot implementation showcases the libraries' utility for healthcare record management.
