In this paper, we will describe how it is possible for a group of hospitals to implement both distributed and integrated electronic patient encounters with high performance and availability. We will also describe how it is possible in such a system to implement approximated ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability) properties by using the Countermeasure Transaction Model. This is used to implement recovery and approximated concurrency control.
