Abstract :
The system has been specifically developed to manage nursing operation of a multi ward cardiology department. Main characteristics of the system are: internet access technology; data integration in the Hospital Information System by using a specific middleware; local or remote DBMS enquired by SQL. The system is based on a "client-server" architecture referring to a centralized data base, installed on a remote server, connected by "secure" TCP/IP network protocols. Each ward uses a standard PC client with a specialised user friendly interface. Each operative client is provided by an autonomous local DB and DBMS, the data of which are automatically synchronized with the server dept. repository. Consultation-only clients are also foreseen. ODBC access is used for handling data in both the local and remote DBs. The system operates in our Institute since 1998.
