An Integrated Healthcare Network Multimedia Patient Record System

摘要

The VA’s complete online multimedia patient record, which operates at all VA medical centers, includes interactive patient chart components, clinical images from a variety of specialties, and scanned documents containing signatures or handwritten information. Multimedia records currently exist that span 15 years, and there are presently more than 250 million images online at 158 VA medical centers. Recently, standardized index terms for images and documents have been added to allow viewing of information stored locally or at other facilities on the network.
