After surveying the existing medical office software, the specifications for an "ideal" medical office system were set forth. These include microcomputer configuration, multi-user multi-tasking operating systems with ability to run multiple printers, Winchester disk-drive storage, color terminals, data base management system with the ability to perform sophisticated patient selection and to sort this information at the user's discretion, the ability to merge form letters to a given selected list of patients and to automatically insert the patient's name and address in this form letter, powerful report-generating and modifying capability, all of which can easily be performed at the user level without the need for specialized data processing in-office personnel. A vertical, problem-oriented structure is described. This configuration lends itself to complex, modern billing situations.
在对现有的医疗办公软件进行调研之后，提出了“理想”医疗办公系统的规格要求。这些要求包括微型计算机配置、具有运行多台打印机能力的多用户多任务操作系统、温彻斯特磁盘驱动器存储、彩色终端、能够进行复杂的患者筛选并可根据用户意愿对这些信息进行排序的数据库管理系统、能够将格式信件合并到给定的选定患者列表并在格式信件中自动插入患者姓名和地址的能力、强大的报告生成和修改能力，所有这些操作在用户层面都能轻松完成，无需办公室配备专业的数据处理人员。文中还描述了一种纵向的、面向问题的结构。这种配置适用于复杂的现代计费情况。
