title: A web interface for multimedia electronic patient record: consensual validation of the Aquitaine Health Information Network prototypes.
abstract: The PromptPR patient record originates from the research and development project DILEMMA (1992-94) and has been undertaken in the context of the research project PROMPT (4th Framework Health Telematics). Here we present the work undertaken with the doctors of the project RISA (Réseau d'Information de Santé en Aquitaine) in order to adapt the patient record to their various practical medical conditions. Effectively, there are implications for general practitioners, the private sector and hospital personnel. The richness of the workgroup and the adoption of a participative methodology, guided by the demands of the end-users allowed the creation of an electronic patient record (EPR) sufficiently simple and generic as to serve as a common base for both general practitioners and hospital medical staff. Independent of this system, the multimedia interface presented is based on frames, which enables visualization of the EPR either vertically or horizontally, with access to both the multimedia and external documentation of the patient. This web interface is the result of a consensus of opinion within the group.
