Developing portable, open software architectures for computer-based patient records systems can prevent costly obsolescence. This approach ensures long-term investment protection and facilitates migration to electronic health records.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Dental Informatics

Background:

  • Computer-based patient record (CBPR) systems demand significant development investment.
  • Software obsolescence poses a risk to long-term data management and system usability.
  • Portable and open software architectures offer a strategy to mitigate these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of a portable, GUI-based, object-oriented client-server architecture for a dental clinical management system.
  • To outline an approach for preserving software development investments.
  • To ensure a smooth migration pathway towards a comprehensive Computer-based Patient Record.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a three-layer application design: graphical user interface (GUI), database interface, and application functionality.

  • Employed an object-oriented, client-server architecture.
  • Implemented using generic, cross-platform development tools to maximize portability.

    • Main Results:

    • The Clinical Management System at Temple University School of Dentistry successfully adopted a portable architecture.
    • The system design separates concerns into distinct layers for maintainability and adaptability.
    • Cross-platform tools facilitated broad compatibility and ease of deployment.

    Conclusions:

    • A portable, open software architecture is a viable strategy for extending the lifespan of clinical software applications.
    • This approach safeguards development investments and supports future transitions to advanced systems like CBPR.
    • Layered design and cross-platform tools are key to achieving portability and long-term system value.
