PATCOSY--A Database System for the National Health Service

Kerridge, J. M.

Abstract

PATCOSY (PATient COmputer SYstem) is a data base system which has been designed specifically for the National Health Service environment. The structure of PATCOSY therefore reflects the structure and inter-relationships which exist between the information created by the different parts of the health services when a total medical information system is considered. This paper describes the major features of PATCOSY and their relationship to the CODASYL recommendations.
