CareWeb -- a Community Network for Web-Based Health Care
Care Web is a school-based healthcare program that uses pervasive
Web technologies to provide affordable, universal community services in the context of telemedicine. The four partners of the collaboration are represented in the project logo.
The system architecture follows the three-component Bridge paradigm that connects ‘points of needs’ (school nurses) with ‘points of expertise’ (pediatricians) via an intelligent switchboard (bridge) that facilitates triage operation by nurse practitioners.
The pilot project focuses on deployment of a prototype CareWeb system in selected schools within the Syracuse City School District.
The CareWeb HyperWorld consists of a set of linked Worlds (such as
Schools or Student Records), offering customized home pages
for CareWeb personnel and customers.
The Nurse World offers convenient access to the electronic student-record database and the associated educational, training, electronic consulting, and collaboratory resources.
Each student page offers secure, flexible, and interactive access to
the individual components of the medical record, stored together
with all other CareWeb Worlds in a distributed relational database
management system.
