Abstract

Developments in the understanding of the molecular basis of diseases have resulted in a major growth of health care informatics. Private health enterprise networks and computerized patient records are two major elements in this emerging enterprise-wide healthcare informatics. In a specialized domain of this healthcare informatics, also known as telemedicine, efforts are being made to develop networked computing applications according to some evolving international standards, such as HL7. This has led to the potential for a number of distributed telemedicine applications. This paper illustrates such an application in an object oriented modeling language called unified modeling language
