An Adaptable Interactive System for Medical and Research Data Management
L. Ralph Baker · Methods of Information in Medicine · 1974
The design of interactive information systems that ease the implementation of new applications, and facilitate their use by persons (users and programmers) with varied levels of training remains a problem that has not been satisfactorily solved, although some progress is being made by many investigators. TIRRIS, an interactive data base management system in use at the Texas Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, includes features that permit it to adapt to a variety of applications, users, and terminals. Key features of the system, including capabilities, modes of operation, commands, and system tailoring options are described.
