Automated Dental Epidemiology System. III. Data System Design.

Abstract

The previous functional design for the epidemiology system was modified in response to changes in the operating environment. The current design uses microcomputers located in critical data processing areas of clinical and command environment. Both provide economy and flexibility to this design. Data from dental inprocessing and annual examinations are to be processed in the clinical headquarters to provide treatment-need reports. The automated examination data are to be subsequently forwarded to NDRI for epidemiology processing. Treatment provided data are to be collected in the clinic via mark-sense card, processed in the Headquarters and likewise forwarded to NDRI for updating the dental data base. A dedicated minicomputer, using the ANSI MUMPS language and the COSTAR medical data base is adequate for epidemiologic data processing. The MUMPS/COSTAR data base also appears to be the most cost effective approach to clinical management data processing. Originator supplied keywords include: Digital computers, Dental examination, Dental record, Dental treatment, Data base.
