An analysis of mini-computer configurations to fulfill hospital information system requirements

Abstract

Each of the above approaches has failed to win the support of hospital "users" and has failed to satisfy the total informational requirements of the particular medical institution. The most successful systems have been those implemented on mlnl-computers; these systems have achieved the highest degree of user satisfaction. They have not, however, provided the hospital with a centralized data base from which required organizational information can be derived and retrieved.
