I am a medical student at the university of Liverpool and am researching
current and potential uses of the internet/intranet for health
professionals in an accident and emergency department. I am planning to
describe current provision as well as list potential areas where the use of
an intranet or the internet would be beneficial. I would be extremely
grateful if anyone could give me an idea of how much this technology is
used currently (e.g. toxicology sites on the net, x-rays accessed by
computer directly from radiology, using the net to research a rare or
unfamiliar condition, pathology reports on line?) and any ideas on areas
where introduction of new technology would be beneficial to health
professionals working in A&E (web cams etc.). An tips on good sites,
references etc. would be greatly appreciated but I am really interested in
comments on this technology from professionals using it (or not!). Please
reply to [log in to unmask] Thank you.
