Resource & Patient Management System (RPMS)

As the Indian health system transitions away from the RPMS (Resource Planning and Management System) application, one of the critical challenges faced by healthcare organizations is securely archiving and migrating historical patient data that is required for retention, patient care and compliance. At CITI we specialize in data migration and archival solutions tailored to the unique needs of the healthcare sector. Our expertise ensures that your RPMS data is safely transitioned, fully accessible, and compliant with all regulatory requirements, without compromising the integrity of vital healthcare records.

Our Experience with RPMS (Resource Planning and Management System)

Data Extraction from InterSystems Cache's Complex Architecture

Extracting data from an InterSystems Caché database presents several challenges due to its specialized MUMPS (Cache Object Script) language and architecture. Our data engineers are prepared and equipped to handle all these complexities

Complex Querying: MUMPS differs from SQL, making it difficult for developers familiar with relational databases to write and optimize queries.
Data Structure Complexity: Caché stores data in a hierarchical, object-oriented format, with deeply nested objects that can be hard to flatten and export.
Proprietary Data Format: Caché’s specialized storage format may not easily map to other systems, complicating data extraction.
Lack of Open APIs: Caché requires specific connectors or configurations for data extraction, unlike databases with standard APIs like REST, ODBC, or JDBC.
Large Volumes of Data: Handling large datasets without affecting performance requires optimized queries and batch processing.
Concurrency and Locking: Multiple users accessing data simultaneously can cause locking issues, impacting extraction performance.
