Experiences with a distributed virtual patient record system.

Abstract

TeleMed is a distributed diagnosis and analysis system, which permits physicians who are not collocated to consult on the status of a patient. The patient's record is dynamically constructed from data that may reside at several sites but which can be quickly assembled for viewing by pointing to the patient's name. Then, a graphical patient record appears, through which consulting physicians can retrieve textual and radiographic data with a single mouse click. TeleMed uses modern distributed object technology and emerging telecollaboration tools.

[Implementation and testing of a multifunctional electronic patient record for routine practice and evaluation of patient care].

"Medical Monitoring" is a software produced for everyday medical practice in order to document data of history, physical and functional status, interventions and outcomes. The electronic patient record has been developed for research purpose within a network of hospitals and primary care physicians specialized in integrative medicine. It should help to realize a comprehensive documentation-system for long-term observations of patients concerning effectiveness, cost, risk and safety. Important components of the program are: a) health record for routine documentation in medicine and nursing b) tools for formal assessment in special indications c) user-support in service and decision-making d) user-support for advising and teaching patients in self-treatment and lifestyle-techniques e) archive-function for diverse findings f) tools for quality assurance g) tools for reimbursement and billing.
