title: The Iowa Medical Information Network: a concept.
abstract: Iowa Methodist Medical Center (IMMC) was one of the nation's early developers of a "hospital/physician" system, entering the arena during October 1985, under the direction of Ginny Wagner. Their "MOLI-Link" system now serves over 150 physicians in 50 locations, and is currently undergoing significant enhancement. MOLI-Link was originally developed using Annson Systems (IBAX) products, and has recently migrated to Wallace Computer Services (Wal-Link) software. Over the past 4 years, IMMC has investigated wide-area medical information networking, and is now actively investigating development of the Iowa Medical Information Network. It is envisioned that IMIN would provide clinical, administrative, and educational information services throughout the IMMC 37 county referral area.
