Abstract

Since the medical environment becomes more complicated nowadays, frequent exchange of information and cooperation among the professionals are the indispensable factors to enhance the quality of medical care. An efficient teleconsultation plays an important role for surgical emergency and medical decision making. The advances in the information communication technique during the past decade have already made the remote consulting feasible. However, the remote consulting must provide rapid response time, high quality medical images and flexible cooperation platform. Based on the combination of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), we propose an effective teleconsultation system to achieve the purpose of remote diagnosis support. The Internet virtual community concept is also adopted to provide a convenient and rapid connection manner for participants. Furthermore, the comparison results between proposed system and previous works demonstrate that it fulfills the requirements of remote teleconsultation system.
