Abstract
Modules to produce cumulative clinical pathology reports, index and report surgical pathology data, maintain a patient demographic database, and index literature references have been added to our laboratory information system. MUMPS facilitates the modular incremental approach used to develop these applications. Each module is created, evaluated, and modified until logically correct and acceptable to the user. Our library of programs is being adapted to establish systems in medical records, biomedical physics, radiology, and the pharmacy.
