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.
|
Session control in CareWeb is implemented by a session identifier('cookie'), passed between client and server session on each request.
|
In the WebCast mode, both nurse and practitioner acquire the commoncookie. The passive site polls the session database for news using theJavaScript timeout mechanism.
