Abstract :
The Navy, as with other military services and private industry, faces the challenge of providing quality health care in an environment of escalating costs and declining resources. Decision Systems Technologies Inc. has developed and implemented the Navy Medical Executive Information System (EIS) for the Naval Medical Information Management Center (NMIMC). The EIS converts data to intelligence to help Navy Medical Department executives make major decisions concerning the allocation and management of health care resources. The EIS is based on a corporate (centralized, integrated, multi-dimensional) database system that uses the mainframe computer at NMIMC for database maintenance and commercially available EIS software to answer queries
