Waxman, Ph. D. Director, Health Care Technology Program, National Center for Health Services Research and De' elopment FOREWORD In December, 1968, the National Center for Health Services Research and Development granted an award to the Kaiser Foundation Research Institute to establish a Health Services Research Center. The objective of this Centeristoconduct heal thservicesresearchwithinthe Kaiser-Permanente medical care program, utilizing a medical information system which will ultimately provide a base of medical data for one million people. With the encouragement and support of the National Center for Health Services Research and Development, thisconference on Medical Information Systems was planned and conducted. The purposes of this conference were: to define the current state of technology; to identify the problems, needs and emerging technology; and to consider alternative computer applications to multiple-facility medical information systems for the delivery of medical care and for health services research. These proceedings of the conference do not contain the papers of Drs. Pratt, Sweeney, and Warner bocause their final manuscripts were not yet available at press time. Dr. Hayes substituted for Dr. Waxman as the final speaker. The National Center for Health

  • Computer Data Storage
    15/2/2020 Computer data storage - Wikipedia Computer data storage Computer data storage, often called storage, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers.[1]:15–16 The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations. In practice, almost all computers use a storage hierarchy,[1]:468–473 which puts fast but expensive and small storage options close to the CPU 1 GiB of SDRAM mounted in a and slower but larger and cheaper options farther away. personal computer. An example of primary storage. Generally the fast volatile technologies (which lose data when off power) are referred to as "memory", while slower persistent technologies are referred to as "storage". Even the very first computer designs, Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine and Percy Ludgate's Analytical Machine, clearly distinguished between processing and memory (Babbage stored numbers as rotations of gears, while Ludgate stored numbers as displacements of rods in shuttles). This distinction was extended in the Von Neumann architecture, where the CPU consists of two main parts: The control unit and the arithmetic logic unit (ALU). 15 GiB PATA hard disk drive (HDD) The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and from 1999; when connected to a computer it serves as secondary memory, while the latter performs arithmetic and logical storage. operations on data.
