Director of Information Technology
SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Week Ending 27 November 1987
1. The Medical Information, Diagnosis, and Artificial
Intelligence System (MIDAS) reached its Initial Operating
Capability (IOC) on 16 November. MIDAS presently replaces two
independent systems with one centralized Integrated Database
Management System/Relational (IDMS/R) database containing patient
information. MIDAS provides the Office of Medical Services
additional capabilities and increased flexibility in dealing with
medical lab tests and results. An automatic SCHEDULER, now being
developed by OIT, will be phased into MIDAS in the second quarter
of FY 1988 to automate the handling and scheduling of the form
259B (Request for Medical) within OMS. Other work to be done
during FY 1988 includes providing connections from MIDAS to a
centralized Corporate Data Personnel database and an electronic
connection for medical diagnostic equipment. OIT officers will
also analyze th fpasibility of automating the form 259B for
Agency-wide use.
2. Multilateral Counterterrorism Database System Program
(MCDS) DESIST Release 4.2 was successfully brought up on a VM
production system on 19 November, as scheduled. This is an
important milestone for DESIST as it brings the system up to the
current version of AIM (4.71). Modifications to the DESIST AIM
interface have been made to allow DESI T to take advantage of
improved AIM Search facilities.
