Abstract:
We constructed an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in December 1999, and established a satellite clinic 5 km away from the core hospital in November 2001. Both medical doctors and patients were exchanged between the two institutes. Because it was necessary for both institutes to use the same medical information and medical images, we re-constructed both the PACS and EMR using high-speed cable network technology.
