In this study, using PC server. we developed large scale hospital order communication system which is classified into 3 categories of business: clinical business, clinical support business, patient management business. In all the programs to build OCS, the user's convenience was considered as a top priority. which was built in the environment of 'window'; in this, the tool to develop the programs was a 'Visual Basic' In consideration of the aspect of operation. the programs were consolidated into one kind. The database was built into a relation-type database. MS/SQL which is easily interchangeable or portable personal database: and data exchange with real users was also made casy. Since all kinds of business concerned built in open system, this hospital information system can actively cope with any of environmental changes, and since this system was developed by manpower within an organization of a hospital. the system can flexibly and efficiently correspond to its operation.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to review an implementation of u-Severance information system with focus on electronic hospital records (EHR) and to suggest future improvements. METHODS: Clinical Data Repository (CDR) of u-Severance involved implementing electronic medical records (EMR) as the basis of EHR and the management of individual health records. EHR were implemented with service enhancements extending to the clinical decision support system (CDSS) and expanding the knowledge base for research with a repository for clinical data and medical care information. RESULTS: The EMR system of Yonsei University Health Systems (YUHS) consists of HP integrity superdome servers using MS SQL as a database management system and MS Windows as its operating system. CONCLUSIONS: YUHS is a high-performing medical institution with regards to efficient management and customer satisfaction; however, after 5 years of implementation of u-Severance system, several limitations with regards to expandability and security have been identified.
