A Universal Object-Oriented Medical Database System

Abstract

The paper presents and discusses a universal client/server object-oriented patient database system for clinical and personal applications. The developed system makes it possible to manage all patient specific data in the unified way by means of object-oriented representation of heterogeneous medical data, which include patient details, examination results and doctor visits history. The presented implementation includes a database server and a universal client application, which serves as a container for manifold medical applications that require database services. This approach enables to simplify drastically the implementation of database support in client applications and to put the main computational burden on the container application, which communicates with its clients by means of defined interface protocols.
