An enterprise web viewing system for clinical and administrative data

The authors will demonstrate the comprehensive web based viewing system for clinical and administrative data in widespread use in the Cedars-Sinai Health System. This system encompasses over a dozen disparate systems of varying ages, each of which originally had a unique user interface. The clinical viewing system is called Web/VS and is assessable from 400 clinical workstations in patient care areas as well as any network or remotely-connected workstation. The web viewing system includes a firewall and token based authentication system which allows secure access from the Internet. Encrypted wireless access to web-clipped clinical information is now in use by many physicians carrying Palm VII personal digital assistants.
