An enterprise web viewing system for clinical and administrative data

Abstract The authors will demonstrate the comprehensive web based viewing system for clinical and administrative data in widespread use in the Cedars-Sinai Health System. This system encompasses over a dozen disparate systems of varying ages, each of which originally had a unique user interface. The clinical viewing system is called Web/VS and is assessable from 400 clinical workstations in patient care areas as well as any network or remotely-connected workstation. The web viewing system includes a firewall and token based authentication system which allows secure access from the Internet. Encrypted wireless access to web-clipped clinical information is now in use by many physicians carrying Palm VII personal digital assistants.
