The Medical Query Language (MQL) is an English-like query language with which a user with little or no training in programming or computer science can formulate and satisfy inquiries on data contained in his/her Standard MUMPS database. To date, major applications of MQL have been in the areas of quality assurance, medical research, and practice administration at sites using the Computer Stored Am...

COSTAR was originally designed for use in an ambulatory care clinic. This paper describes the adaptation of COSTAR for use in the Kidney Transplant Unit of the Massachusetts General Hospital. With few changes, the system was modified to make it compatible with the needs of the Transplant Unit that include the clinical care of both inpatients and outpatients as well as administration and research. ...

A heavy reliance on the use of narrative text to record information in the COSTAR (COmPuter STored Pmbulatory Record) medical record has made automated analysis of the data difficult. Front-end microprocessors and new data capturing mechanisms have made it possible to develop methods which facilitate entry of medical data in codable form. A prototype of such a system developed at the Laboratory of...

The storage, retrieval, and communication of information are key features of both the practice of medicine and the administration of health care. This paper describes a COmputer-STored Ambulatory Record (COSTAR) which replaces the traditional document-based patient medical record with a comprehensive, centralized, and integrated information system. COSTAR meets both the medical care and the financ...Show More
A promising strategy for providing a hospital information system is the gradual development and subsequent integration of well-defined information processing modules. A computer system which is suitable and economical to serve one or more of these modules has been developed. Its unique feature is that it uses an interpretive language for all the application programs both in the developmental and s...Show More
Techniques in automated data-handling for medical research and patient-care purposes are being investigated using a conversational timeshared computer system. This paper covers the initial design considerations, implementation experience, and user reaction with the prototype set of on-line, multiple-access, general-purpose information storage and retrieval programs. This system is designed to pemi...Show More
