This paper presents the results of a study toward generating a wireless environment to provide real-time mobile accessibility to patient information system. A trial system is set up where database, internet, and wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs) are integrated in such a way that the medical professionals like physicians, nurses and lab assistants can create, access and update medical records using wireless PDAs from any location in the hospital which is covered by wireless LAN. The same services which can be carried out via fixed terminals with internet connectivity can be carried out using wireless PDAs. The implementation has used and integrated many technologies like Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic®, Structured Query Language (SQL) Server, ActiveSync®, IEEE802.11 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology and wireless security concepts. The paper details the architectural aspects of technology integration and the methodology used for setting up the end-to-end system. The proposed architecture, its performance data and the common implementation barriers are reported.

Tasks, requirements, planning and design of the central data bank in a patient information system are demonstrated by the model of the »Medical System Hanover« (MSH).The Terms »Information System«, in particular »Patient Information System« and »Data Bank« are defined. Based on the ultimate goals of MSH, the task set is formulated and a catalogue of the most important basic requirements of a data bank management system is given as typical for application in a hospital environment. Finally, various points of view that are of essential importance for system planning and design, such as selection of data and structurization of files, are discussed.
