Abstract
The transfer of the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center clinical information system to an Australian tertiary care center began in 1982. The conve rted system was installed for use by the hospital administration in 19 91, and it is now used extensively in management and patient care. Thi s article discusses the original software, the applications implemente d, and the problems encountered and overcome, as well as the role of t he hospital administration in the development and subsequent freezing of the system.
