	MUMPS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System), or alternatively M, is a programming language created in the late 1960s for use in the healthcare industry.
		Nearly the entire VA hospital system in the United States and the Indian Health Service, as well as major parts of the Department of Defense CHCS hospital system all still run the system for clinical data tracking.
		For all of these reasons one of the most common M programs is a database management system, providing all of the classic ACID properties on top of a generic M implementation.

		The SCAR 98 theme, Filmless Radiology,will focus attention on the role of computer applications in the re-engineering of radiology for the filmless and paperless practice of the 21st century.
		We believe that computer applications in radiology will play a major role in health care delivery in the 21st century, necessitating integration at the hospital level and throughout the entire medical enterprise of multiple hospitals, outpatient centers, physician’s offices, etc. that depend on the smooth exchange of clinical information and medical images.
		It will look beyond the technology of computer applications in radiology to the operational issues facing radiology in the 21st century and will address issues pertinent to managed care, privacy and security, access to images, governmental issues, financial concerns, and the importance of integrating the various networks that interact with the practice of radiology.

		When development of the VA Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP) was begun in 1978, there were many design issues to be settled.
		The DHCP approach was based on an adaptive, user-driven evolutionary development process which allowed the system to grow from a simple initial system.
		DHCP has proven to be remarkably adaptive: this was one of design goals.

	VistA History: Overview
		The largest pool of federal hospitals was in a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services division, the Veterans Administration (VA, later to be elevated to cabinet status as the Department of Veterans Affairs).
		The program was launched in 1978 with the deployment of the initial capabilities for the implementation of the modules in about twenty VA Medical Centers.
		Meanwhile in the early 1980s major hospitals in Finland were the first institutions outside of the United States to adopt and adapt the VistA system to their language and institutional processes, creating a suite of applications called MUSTI and Multilab.

	Stages of Pressure Ulcers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP), a database that allows access to the medical record of patients who receive treatment at the Houston VAMC, was the primary source of information obtained for this study.
		As with the predictors of outcome, several of the predictors of hospitalization for pressure ulcers were expected (ASIA A or B impairment level, severity of study pressure ulcer, and healed versus nonhealed during outpatient treatment).
		Persons injured by motor vehicle crashes were less likely to be hospitalized; however, this group was younger at the time of the study and had had their SCI for a shorter duration than those injured in other ways.

		The interface between expert knowledge written in natural language and larger hospital information systems is a major challenge in the routine implementation of medical expert systems.
		Hospital information systems generally do not accept natural language statements from routine clinical documents as meaningful data, and thus do not allow for decentralized knowledge engineering.
		The Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP) is the hospital information system of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA), used by 169 USDVA Medical Centers, as well as by medical centers in Germany and Finland [4,5].

		Consider two simple terms: yes and no. In many computer systems, the number â1â is used to indicate âyesâ, and the number â2â is used to indicate ânoâ.
		We can standardize our representation of âyesâ and ânoâ within VA computer systems, but unless our healthcare partners employ the same standards to exchange data with us, we cannot be sure that we are conveying the intended meaning of the data we are exchanging.
		Under the HealtheVet-VistA program, VA will incrementally enhance and supplement the current functional capabilities of VistA and will provide increased flexibility, more sophisticated analytical tools, and support for seamless data sharing among providers both within and outside VA. Like VistA, software developed under the HealtheVet program will be available in the public domain.

		The disadvantage of being a programming language is that it takes more expertise to apply the language to create a working data base, but the advantage of not being a dedicated database management system is that it is infinitely more flexible.
		And because the features that support structured programming were absent from the MUMPS of the early eighties, there is a substantial body of unstructured legacy code still in use, and a substantial number of M programmers comfortable with what might be called the "traditional" coding style.
		In practice, the portability of M programs is typically as good as or better than that of C, and much better than BASIC, because, unlike BASIC for example, standard MUMPS is sufficiently rich to implement real-world applications mostly without resorting to vendor-specific extensions.
