✦ Synopsis

The MEDINFO (MEDical INFOrmation) system is a general purpose computer-based information storage, retrieval, and analysis system. It is designed for a time sharing, on-line computer system for the rapid and easy creation, maintenance, and analysis of general data files. A wide variety of types of information may be used. These include numeric, categoric, text, date, and multiple-response. The file structure allows several sets of data, including date-orientated data, to be used. MEDINFO permits a study to be created, a description of the data made, data to be entered and updated into records, and for the data to be displayed or analyzed by the investigator without programmer intervention.
