Abstract
A new client-server based system which is centered around a lifetime data repository (LDR) is under construction. The goal of the new system is to maintain the patient centered decision support aspects of the existing HELP* system while providing an open architecture that supports faster application development and allows execution of applications to be distributed across many computers. These goals are achieved by implementing the system with software components that are commercially available or by adhering to national and international standards for software integration. Keys to successful integration include the use of MS-DOS @, OS/2#, and UNIX Section as operating systems, Microsoft OLE 2.0 as a standard interface to the clinical database, the use of TUXEDO as a transaction/communication manager, and the use of ORACLE [symbol: see text] RDBMS as the underlying database management system.
