Title

Occupational Health Research - Practice Management Software for Healthcare Professionals

Description

Origins

In 1977, Benjamin MacArthur and members of the Redington Memorial Association, a charitable healthcare trust serving rural Maine, decided to support attempts to improve the treatment of injured workers in hopes that the runaway growth in workers' compensation premiums for local businesses could be controlled. To direct the project, they recruited William Newkirk, MD, who the previous year had won a research award from the American College of Surgeons for his work on using mathematical models to predict medical outcomes. Dr. Newkirk and the Redington Association decided to bet that the recently invented micro-computer (later to be renamed the "personal computer") would be critical in solving the workers' compensation cost crisis. Over the next three years, Dr. Newkirk wrote SYSTOC, the first commercially successful occupational health software for personal computers.
