Abstract

This article will present the architecture of the medical information system (MIS) developed in Georgia and its application for image-based second opinion consultations. The primary goal of the MIS is patient management. However, the system can be successfully applied for image based second opinion consultations. Five hundred Georgian language electronic medical records from the cervical screening activity illustrated by images were selected for second opinion consultations. It has been shown, that the MIS is perspective and actual technology solution. It can be successfully and effectively used for image based second opinion consultations. The ideal of healthcare in the information age must be to create a situation where healthcare professionals spend more time creating knowledge from medical information and less time managing this information. The application of available and adaptable technology and improvement of the infrastructure conditions is the basis for eHealth applications.
