The US Department of Veterans Affairs (formerly the Veterans Administration) was one of the earliest major adopters of the MUMPS language. Their development work (and subsequent contributions to the free MUMPS application codebase) was an influence on many medical users worldwide. In 1995, the Veterans Affairs' patient Admission/Tracking/Discharge system, [[Decentralized Hospital Computer Program]] (DHCP) was the recipient of the Computerworld [[Smithsonian Award]] for best use of Information Technology in Medicine. In July 2006, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) / [[Veterans Health Administration]] (VHA) was the recipient of the Innovations in American Government Award presented by the Ash Institute of the [[John F. Kennedy School of Government]] at [[Harvard University]] for its extension of DHCP into the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture ([[VistA]]). Nearly the entire VA hospital system in the United States, the [[Indian Health Service]], and major parts of the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] [[Composite Health Care System|CHCS]] hospital system use MUMPS databases for clinical data tracking.
