[A telemedical multilevel server network system].

Telemedicine is a hot research focus. When we develop the telemedicine system, we find that in China the network condition can not fit the demands of the transregional telemedicine service. In order to improve the poor conditions, we have designed a set of telemedicine system based on distributed multilevel server network model. The paper expounds the structure and the working process of the system, then goes into the technology details in realizing it, finally discusses some relative questions.

[Follow-up, with Internet medical file, of patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy].

The development of Internet and the need for regular follow-up of patients often living a long way from hospital have led us to develop a follow-up dossier for patients with localized prostate cancer treated by laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. This feasibility study is based on 100 patients who agreed to test this system. After approval by the Commission Nationale d'Informatique et de Liberté (CNIL) (French Computers and Privacy Commission) ensuring medical secrecy and confidentiality of data, the website was opened on a server specifically devoted to this project and presenting all of the required computer securities. The website is composed of pages comprising the hospital discharge summary, and the operative and histology reports. A quality of life questionnaire based on assessment of urinary continence and sex life and a PSA assay form are also included. The patient is therefore able to enter his PSA level and complete the questionnaire at home and the results are then sent to the doctor who treated him. A contact page allows the patient and the doctor to exchange information by text. 92 of these 100 patients connected regularly to the site with a mean connection rate of 8 per patient (range: 1 to 22). 98% of patients were satisfied with the various sections of the site and 95% were satisfied with their medical file. 11% of patients encountered connection problems and 14% reported technical problems essentially attributed to incorrect PSA data entry or incorrect functioning of videos due to the absence of appropriate software. This type of Internet medical service for patients who have undergone a surgical operation requiring regular follow-up appears to be a useful approach for the future by allowing: maintenance of close contact between the patient and his doctors while avoiding the problems related to hospital visits, regardless of the patient's place of residence. It also provides general practitioners with access to the patient's file, with the patient's permission.

Understanding and implementing hospital information systems.

One of a hospital's greatest resources is its information. The hospital's information system, whether computerized or manual, is the means by which data is collected, integrated, and retrieved. However, because optimal patient treatment, financial management, and hospital operation require that decisions be based on current, accurate, complete, and well-organized data, a computerized hospital information system (HIS), when correctly implemented, can be the most effective means of disseminating valuable information to decision makers. Although the systems currently in place in most hospitals are used primarily to manage finances, an integrated HIS is much more than a financial system; it can, in fact, coordinate all of a hospital's information needs. An integrated HIS develops over time, typically several years. Merely automating existing procedures may not provide many of the potential benefits of a new system and may even carry forward most of the drawbacks of the old system. Determining how information is currently processed in the hospital and putting together an effective team to carry out acquisition and implementation of an HIS must precede the purchase of computers, networks, and software applications. In Part 1 of this article, we describe hospitals' general information needs and provide an overview of the current state of HISs and what hospitals can expect to gain from implementing a new system; in Part 2, we describe the steps hospitals can take when putting the system in place. We caution readers that, although we will be discussing many benefits of successful HISs, little documented or quantified evidence exists to show that these benefits are being realized; most evidence is subjective and qualitative, and claims are not thoroughly substantiated. Few, if any, hospitals have achieved the completely integrated system model--or even come close. Nevertheless, this article provides the groundwork for hospitals to make a thoughtful beginning. In upcoming issues, we will be publishing further articles in our information systems series. Also see our extensive Guidance Article on Laboratory Information Systems in Health Devices 23(10-11), October-November 1994. ECRI will also be increasing the number of reports on information systems in its Healthcare Product Comparison System.

Implementation of a province-wide computerized network in Quebec: the FAMUS Project.

General practitioners have busy schedules and are accustomed to working autonomously. But they will take an interest in research issues that could increase their efficiency or improve patient care. The use of medical informatics tools to facilitate collaborative research networks requires that participants accept the tools. This article describes the implementation of a province-wide computing network and discusses the opportunities afforded by the creation of a large central database documenting the process of care.

HELP the next generation: a new client-server architecture.

A new client-server based system which is centered around a lifetime data repository (LDR) is under construction. The goal of the new system is to maintain the patient centered decision support aspects of the existing HELP* system while providing an open architecture that supports faster application development and allows execution of applications to be distributed across many computers. These goals are achieved by implementing the system with software components that are commercially available or by adhering to national and international standards for software integration. Keys to successful integration include the use of MS-DOS @, OS/2#, and UNIX Section as operating systems, Microsoft OLE 2.0 as a standard interface to the clinical database, the use of TUXEDO as a transaction/communication manager, and the use of ORACLE [symbol: see text] RDBMS as the underlying database management system.

Collaborative Social and Medical Service System.

This paper describes the Collaborative Social and Medical Services System, a robust information infrastructure for integrated social and medical care. The Collaborative Social and Medical Services System design and architecture address the primary goals of creating a readily extensible social and ambulatory care system. Our initial step toward reaching this goal is the delivery of an application supporting the operations of the Baylor Teen Health Clinics. This paper discusses our prototype experiences, system architecture, components, and the standards we are addressing.
