Abstract

KHOSPAD is a project aiming at improving the quality of the process of patient care delivering concerning general practitioner-patient-hospital relationships, using current information and networking technologies. The studied application field is a cardiology division, with hemodynamic laboratory and the population of PTCA patients. Data related to PTCA patients are managed by ARCADIA, an object-oriented database management system developed for the considered clinical setting. The authors defined a remotely accessible view of ARCADIA medical record suitable for general practitioners (GP) caring patients after PTCA, during the follow-up period. Using a PC, a modem and Internet, an authorized GP can consult remotely the medical records of his PTCA patients
