title: Utilization of multimedia-based prototype system for patient electronic medical record.
abstract: Taiwanese Department of Health (DOH) proposed the basic format template of electronic medical records (EMR), for the reference of healthcare institutions nationwide. It facilitates the establishment of EMR in healthcare institutions and the foundation of the sharing and exchange center of EMR. We use this basic content format template as the data exchange carrier, and build a Multimedia EMR prototype system by using web-based XML structured documents, which can thoroughly show the information needed by patients and healthcare institutions, offer Macromedia inverted exclamation markV Flash style viewer, provide people and institutions with the operation interface for downloading relevant medical record formats, and realize the dream that people can actually own their Multimedia EMR.
