Documentation of Computer Programs, 'The NIOSH Information Processing System,'

摘要

The NIOSH computer program designed to process data on x-rays of coal miners to support the provisions of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act and the Federal Black Lung Benefits Acts was described. The four main functions of the system were reviewed: editing of data; maintenance of all input data; production of letters to individual miners; and the production of all required lists and reports. Instructions for the operation of the program are detailed, and samples of reports, lists, and individual letters are provided.
