Architectural review reveals codebase complexity in healthcare billing systems, highlighting challenges in transitioning legacy infrastructure to modern web platforms.
ORCA (Nichi-Rece) is not an electronic medical record system — it is a medical billing system. From an engineer's perspective, this article covers the system architecture of a medical institution, receipt (medical fee claim) work, what is inside the roughly 4.06 million lines of COBOL, the Nichi-Rece API, and the key points of the WebORCA migration, all measured against the publicly released source.
