Application framework of tele-appointment system for teleprimary care / Mohd Raffiek Tahir

The online appointment system allows anyone either targeted or not to manage
their own appointment list, request and history. Tele-Appointment system is focussed
on this to make patients can manage their own appointment. Although it is targeted to
the patients registered in TelePrimary Care(TPC) application, which is one of the
component from the Telemedicine of Multimedia Super Corridor(MSC), The system
is an opportunity to explore the online system that can be integrated and used with the
TPC application. A previous track, TPC is not exposed to internet connection since it
is being used through internal wide area network(WAN). The exploration on the Tele-
Appointment can expose TPC to more internet based system, hence the deliverable of
TPC may expand not only for staffs in hospital and health centres but also the
involvement of patients themselves. The proposed application framework consists of
reviewing and constructing application design, application architecture and
determining use case, actor and the flow of event of the system. This Tele-
Appointment was an idea to enhance the appointment management because the
appointment module that existed in TPC is restricted from public. Thus, Tele-
Appointment is a gateway to open the usage and utilisation of TPC to public.
