A new script language enables low-cost, web-based clinical information systems. This facilitates global access to patient data using standard web browsers, supporting decentralized applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computer Science
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Existing clinical information systems often have high overhead and limited accessibility.
  • The World Wide Web (Web) offers a scalable platform for global data access and diverse data types.
  • There is a need for accessible, low-cost clinical information systems deployable via the Web.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a script language for creating decentralized, clinical information applications on the Web.
  • To enable low-overhead, fully functional clinical information systems accessible via web browsers.
  • To support searching, retrieving, and analyzing stored patient data globally.

Main Methods:

  • Design and implementation of a novel script language.

  • The language is based on Mumps, incorporating enhancements for modern programming and Web interfaces.
  • Development of an interpreter supporting standalone execution across multiple operating systems (Unix, MS-Windows, OS/2).
  • Main Results:

    • A functional script language and interpreter were developed.
    • The system facilitates the creation of low-cost, Web-based, distributed clinical information systems.
    • The language supports legacy Mumps applications with minimal modifications.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed script language effectively supports the implementation of decentralized clinical information applications.
    • This approach enables low-cost, globally accessible clinical data management via the Web.
    • The system enhances modern programming practices while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems.
