title = "Development and operation of a MUMPS laboratory information system: A decade's experience",
abstract = "Experience with in-house development and operation of a clinical laboratory computer system written in the MUMPS programming language for a 1000-bed teaching hospital is related. The Johns Hopkins Laboratory Information System (JHLIS) is a networked minicomputer system that supports access, instrument monitoring, and result reporting for over 3000 specimens and 30,000 test results daily. Development and operation of the system accounts for 6% of the budget of the laboratories which have had a 70% increase in workload over the past decade. Experience with purchased MUMPS software maintained and enhanced in-house suggests that this can be an attractive alternative to lengthy in-house development.",
