Abstract

The development of CW2000, an integrated workstation to support clinical research in cardiology is described. Four levels of integration are discussed: the levels of hardware, software, data and user-interface. The architecture of the system allows integration in a user-friendly shell of software packages currently in use for clinical research. The design and implementation of the workstation architecture are described. The workstation environment can be extended easily with other functions and the techniques for integration can be adapted for use in other clinical environments. The current status of the project, evaluation plans, and the trend for generalizing the concepts of integration are discussed
