The W3-EMRS Demonstration Database
This demonstration presents a subset of a real medical database from Children's Hospital in Boston, augmented with simulated immunization information. We have changed all of the privacy information, such as patient numbers, patient names, and addresses. All the data is extracted on the fly from an Oracle 7.1.4 database, and converted in real time directly into HTML.
The ICU Demonstration Database: Real Time ICU monitoring
This demonstration presents another set of patients from Children's Hospital in Boston, also augmented with simulated immunization information. All of these patients were in the intensive care unit. Once again, we have changed all of the privacy information, such as patient numbers, patient names, addresses, and date of birth. All of the data is extracted on the fly from an Oracle 7.1.4 database.
The Multi-Institutional Demonstration Database
This demonstration is still under construction, but will be available soon. It provides uniform access to heterogeneous legacy databases. We have databases of sample anonymized patient records from three institutions (Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital, all members of the Boston EMR Collaborative). There is an institutional server for each database, that converts the information in the database into a ``common medical record'' encoded in the HL7 message format. The web server queries each of the institutional servers, pieces together an "overall" patient record, and converts the resulting information into html.
