Updated COBOL code for the Y2K compliance project.

Worked on various projects and applications in the IT department of the UK South West Regional Health Authority, later taken on by EDS. Applications were written mainly in MUMPS, and work involved analysis, design, development, implementation and support. Projects included:Medical Data Index (user defined clinical auditing system): Responsibilities included coordinating support work, training users, analysis and programming.IHCS Core Systems: Development, support, conversion and implementation for the central systems of SWift's Integrated Healthcare System.DataMed Radiology System - MPI interface: Built the interface between a third party system and the SWift Master Patient Index.MSQL: Mapped the IHCS MUMPS database onto a relational model to be accessed using SQL.Integrated Pathology System: Used QA Automator to develop test scripts for this application.
