摘要：

A research project has been carried out to develop a client server application which supplies the general practitioner (GP) with a 'personal digital assistant' (hand-held mobile computer) to connect to Web servers at a hospital site through the Internet. This allows the doctor to book medical examinations, hospital admissions and manage patient data. The application used advanced object-oriented techniques, on both the client and the server side. The connection to a Web server was achieved through GSM wireless cellular telephones using standard Internet protocols (HTTP, TCP/IP and CGI). Conventional telephone lines can be used as well. Other application modules on the client side provided patient medical record supervision, CP schedule management, general information about hospitals and clinics, and pharmacy consultation. These services should help GPs in their daily work. Moreover, the quality of health-care resource management and cost supervision should improve, since each GP 'transaction' is automatically entered in realtime into a database at the server. The services are under test in the health-care system of an urban area in southern Italy.
