  • Title: Developing a virtual patient record as a web-based workflow system.
    Author: Malamateniou F, Vassilacopoulos G.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2002; 90():298-304. PubMed ID: 15460706.
    Abstract:
    Virtual patient records provide a means for integrated access to patient information that may be scattered around different healthcare settings. Within the boundaries of a health district providing all levels of care, this concept can be implemented in a corporate Intranet environment to support longitudinal patient care activities across the participating healthcare providers. In this context, a virtual patient record implementation enables autonomous healthcare providers to operate in a cooperative working environment and apply continuity of care. Workflow systems bring this collaboration and cooperation into effect by automatically routing the medical information needed to authorized actors in a healthcare process. This paper presents a virtual patient record framework that allows integrating geographically dispersed medical information within a health district and enhancing collaboration and coordination of authorized workgroups by means of a web-based workflow system. An implementation of the proposed framework is also presented.
