Abstract :
A virtual electronic medical record system is being deployed over the Internet with security in northern New Mexico using TeleMed, a multimedia medical records management system that uses CORBA-based client-server technology and distributed database architecture. The goal of the Northern New Mexico (NNM) Rural Telemedicine Project is to implement TeleMed in 15 rural clinics and two hospitals within a 25,000 square-mile area of northern New Mexico. Evaluation of the project consists of three components: job task analysis, an audit of immunized children, and time-and-motion studies. Preliminary results of the evaluation components are presented
