We built the infrastructure and used it to build a mental health clinical information database - which is now used by qualified, authorized clinicians throughout Calgary to share clinical data about patients. The system is ``live,'' the feedback from users has been positive and there are already hundreds of trained, active users.
The MHCID system as currently implemented allows users to enter data about new patients, find clinical records about existing patients, send each other e-mail as well as read and post bulletins. There is a friendly interface by which an authorized user can add and delete users, update lookup tables and change the access control model.
