While the Department of Veteran's Affairs Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP) is one of the most widely disseminated and successful hospital information systems in existence, it currently is accessed through a user interface which is not as mature as the rest of the system. This interface is a VT-100 compatible, character oriented interface using menus accessed by typed commands for feature access. This project demonstrated that a mature graphical user interface (MailMinder) can be successfully used as a "front-end" to DHCP. MailMinder is completely compatible with the existing unmodified DHCP electronic mail program, Mailman. MailMinder allows the user to be more efficient than the current interface and offers additional features over the current mail system. The program has undergone evaluation and limited deployment at five separate sites. The feature set of this program and its operation will be shown at this demonstration. The demonstration has implications for all current hospital information systems.
虽然退伍军人事务部的分散式医院计算机程序（DHCP）是现存传播最广且最为成功的医院信息系统之一，但目前它是通过一个不如系统其他部分成熟的用户界面来访问的。这个界面是一个与VT - 100兼容的、面向字符的界面，使用通过键入命令访问的菜单来获取功能。该项目证明，一个成熟的图形用户界面（MailMinder）可以成功地用作DHCP的“前端”。MailMinder与现有的未修改的DHCP电子邮件程序Mailman完全兼容。MailMinder使用户比当前界面更高效，并且在当前邮件系统的基础上提供了更多功能。该程序已在五个不同地点进行了评估和有限部署。本次演示将展示该程序的功能集及其操作。该演示对所有当前的医院信息系统都有启示意义。
