For example, by linking the topic module to a database mechanism the patient's responses to the quiz can be recorded and archived as a record of understanding. All database functions would be provided by the OrthoGate Project remotely, from a central database server. The physician would be able to simply access the service from the office via the Internet, have the patient utilize the patient education module on-line, and complete the quiz. The physician can then access his personal account of data records, print out a hard copy of the resulting data and have the patient sign the generated form. While this won't happen overnight, it is well underway as a part of the OrthoGate Project.
