  • Abstract
    An on-line minicomputer information system which has achieved diverse applicability in the medical environment is presented. The motivations for "total medical information systems" are enumerated. The controversy over large-scale computers versus minicomputers is addressed. The design goals and present capabilities of GEMISCH are discussed, and a survey of present applications is included to attest to the versatility of the system.
