Clinical applications of Intranet-technology.

Several areas of HTML-applications using intranet-technology are presented, which are in routine use in our hospital: CBT for nurses and medical students, drug information, electronic literature retrieval systems and laboratory information systems. The basic concept is an integration of commercial databases and local information. All applications are hardware-independent with the same user-interface and all use client-server-technology. By a central update it is ensured that everybody gets the most recent information. As a result of these efforts synergy has developed. The training of the medical staff is supported which helps to improve the care of the patients.
