and early 80's - A uniquely designed user-driven
multiple mini computer networked Medical Reporting and
Accounting system, "REPAC", for a very large
Newcastle based Pathology practice, Drs Hendry, Hampson,
Schweitzer, Barker, Roberts. At that time, this practice
had about 40 branches/collection points; employed over 400
people; and performed over 500 different pathology tests. This
system was a world first at the time in that users totally
controlled the system - new labs, screens, test and reports
could be designed and implemented online without any changes to
the software and without even having to restart the system.
This was because all procedures were driven by data and
transition state tables rather than hard coded software.
