Abstract

Distributed computing is becoming commonplace in a variety of industries with health care being a particularly important one for society. The authors describe the development and deployment of TeleMed in a few health care domains. TeleMed is a 100% Java distributed application build on CORBA and OMG standards enabling the collaboration on the treatment of chronically ill patients in a secure manner over the Internet. These standards enable other systems to work interoperably with TeleMed[1] and provide transparent access to high performance distributed computing to the health care domain. The goal of wide scale integration of electronic medical records is a grand-challenge scale problem of global proportions with far-reaching social benefits
