Abstract :
We describe how it is possible for a group of hospitals to implement both distributed and integrated electronic patient encounters with high performance and availability. We also describe how it is possible in such a system to implement approximated ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability) properties by using the countermeasure transaction model. This is used to implement recovery, and approximated concurrency control.
