Abstract	A unified approach to managing multimedia medical databases in a telemedicine system is proposed. In order to manage, search, and display patient information more efficiently, we define a patient information package (PIP) as a concise data set of a patient's medical information from each visit. By means of PIPs, both patient-oriented and problem-oriented query strategies, which are most frequently used in daily clinical practice and medical education, can be accommodated. We also provide a unified methodology for accessing various types of patient medical records as well as design two types of user interfaces, high-quality data display and web-based interface, for different medical service purposes. The PIP-based management of databases has been successfully implemented between the National Taiwan University (NTUH), Taipei, and the Chinshan health care center, Chinshan, Taiwan, for teleconsultation, telediagnosis, and tele-education.
