MEDITECH
Medical Information Technology, Inc., commonly known as MEDITECH, was founded by A. Neil Pappalardo and Curt W. Marble who are best known as two of the developers of the MUMPS programming language at Mass General Hospital from 1964 thru 1968. Their work at Mass General was funded by the National Institute of health, making all products they developed public domain. In 1968, Pappalardo and Marble took MUMPS and started MEDITECH.
MEDITECH started developing various modules of software for the health industry. In 1975, they released a pharmacy system, followed in the next 10 years by modules for payroll, radiology, account payable, blood bank, nursing, and materials management. Many other subsystems for the health care industry followed. MEDITECH started using a DEC mainframe computer, and changing with technology to a distributed system with mobile and hand-held devices.
MEDITECH provides:
- Health care Information System
- Practice Management Solution
- Home Care Solution
- Long Term Care System
- Behavioral Health System

MUMPS, MIIS, and MAGIC
MUMPS was ANSI and ISO standardized, and served as a basis for MIIS development. In 1977, development started on MAGIC, the successor to MIIS, and development was finished in 1979 [1]. While MUMPS (also known as M) is widely used in health care and financial business software, MIIS and MAGIC remained IP of MEDITECH, and are not marketed outside of the company [2].
