The document discusses the history of Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) and its Med/38 hospital information system. It describes how IHC formed in 1975 and charged its IT department, later known as Affiliated Services Inc. (ASI), to build a modern clinical information system. ASI developed the Med/38 system using RPG code on IBM System/38 minicomputers. Med/38 was highly successful, with 70 hospitals implementing it within 3 years. The system included financial, clinical, and other applications ahead of its time.
