| dc.description.abstract | To what extent can current Internet technology be leveraged to fulfill the vision of the electronic patient record (EPR) as a multimedia object and the healthcare information system as a secure distributed computing network? We explore provision of reliable, secure, intuitive, and inexpensive medical Intranets through simple scripting and configuration – avoiding the need for large programming teams. By prototyping the EPR as a secure newsgroup we demonstrate the feasibility of a basic workflow system that: preserves a signed-paper style visibility of patient data at all times; enriches presentation with multimedia online image exam viewing and user controlled animation; whilst protecting confidential patient data via encrypted data transmission, digital signatures, and authenticated user-access control. In the process several limitation of this technology are uncovered. | IT |
