Medical practice management software (PMS) is a category of healthcare software that deals with the day-to-day operations of a medical practice including veterinarians.Such software frequently allows users to capture patient demographics, schedule appointments, maintain lists of insurance payors, perform billing tasks, and generate reports.
The development of PMS is often criticized as too focused on simply the software development process and not the product. Much of these concerns are rooted in safety issues [3] Computerized physician order entry, an example of PMS, highlights some of these safety concerns. Other criticisms are aimed at the regulations in place.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, formerly ARPA) has been the military's in-house innovator since 1958, a year after the USSR launched Sputnik.DARPA is widely known for creating ARPAnet, the predecessor of the internet, and has been instrumental in advancing hardened electronics, brain-computer interface technology, drones, and stealth technology.
DARPA funded the MITRE Corporation and Carnegie Mellon University to analyze the feasibility of several intelligent planning systems. In November 1989, a demonstration named The Proud Eagle Exercise indicated many inadequacies and bottlenecks within military support systems. [5]
PERCS (Productive, Easy-to-use, Reliable Computing System) is IBM's answer to DARPA's High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) initiative. The program resulted in commercial development and deployment of the Power 775, a supercomputer design with extremely high performance ratios in fabric and memory bandwidth, as well as very high performance density and power efficiency.
The secure system uses military radios rather than commercial, wifi or cellular networks, according to DARPA. [27] TransApps expanded the emphasis on security in 2012, and included the Mobile Armour program. Awarded in June 2012, the Mobile Armour component intends to secure both smartphones and tablet devices in the battlefield. [6]
DARPA programs continually start and stop depending on national security needs and research results, and the high-turnover rate of program managers. [6] Some programs within I2O's research areas are: Assured Autonomy (AA): Creation of technology for continual assurance of Learning-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems.
