Foil 5 CareWeb Collaboratory -- WebCast for guided database navigation

From Exploration of Available Collaboratory Technologies for RL CIV Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV -- June 28 96. by Wojtek Furmanski *

1 A typical collaboratory scenario for school nursing involves the following steps:
  • a child visits the nurse office and is inspected by the nurse
  • nurse fills out assessment form for a given chief complaint
  • nurse then contacts nurse practitioner for interactive diagnosis
  • they establish audio-visual teleconf link using standard pervasivetechnologies (in the current demo, we used VIC/VAT)
  • they use CareWeb WebCast for synchronized navigation: e.g. nurse isfirst in control and shows the most relevant pages to the practitioner;then practitioner takes over the control and ask additional questionse.g. when visiting child health history pages etc.
2 Session control in CareWeb is implemented by a session identifier('cookie'), passed between client and server session on each request.
3 In the WebCast mode, both nurse and practitioner acquire the commoncookie. The passive site polls the session database for news using theJavaScript timeout mechanism.
