Abstract

HYGEIAnet (http://www.hygeianet.gr) the regional health-telematics network of Crete, interconnects healthcare facilities in the region, supporting the development of the regional healthcare information infrastructure. Middleware components of this infrastructure have been used to extend an earlier project that used Internet technology to provide secure multilingual access to medical records in a cardiology department. The resulting scalable and modular architecture can support interconnectivity between medical records of cardiology patients in departments within the same and different institutions
