title: 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.
