Beyond the Web: building information systems with clinical context.
Much of the current research on clinical information systems concentrates on World Wide Web (W3) development. Although the W3 is well suited to many information applications such as nonsensitive data exchange, it has drawbacks that may make it inappropriate for certain clinical environments. We present a solution that addresses many of the W3's limitations by focusing on clinical requirements first and then applying the appropriate technology. We also make a case for clinical information systems researchers to become more involved in the development of Internet standards.
