title: ATRAS: a decision support application layered on the W3-EMRS architecture.
abstract: The creation of portable decision support systems (DSSs) remains an important goal in medical informatics. The Adrenal Test Retrieval and Analysis System (ATRAS) has been developed as an example of a simple yet highly effective decision support application which runs in a system-independent way. It is the first implementation of a decision support application layered on the World Wide Web Electronic Medical Record System (W3-EMRS) architecture, which allows for unified access to remote heterogeneous electronic medical record system (EMRS) databases.
