Abstract

A database system, incorporating smartcard technologies, was designed to hold the personal and pacing details of pacemaker patients, who attended a clinic at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH), Brighton, UK. Following an initial period of a 12 month clinical trial, with the database running on a standalone personal computer, the Pacemaker Patient Database has been redesigned and implemented as an intranet-based system. This paper describes the issues relating to the development of the new prototype system and identifies the design principles for intranet-based electronic health care (EHCR) record database systems.
