Schematic diagram of data flow in the newly developed system. A requester in the hospital activates the system by filling in a request form. The request is securely transferred to a cloud server via Internet line. The cloud-based software automatically creates an e-mail based on the content of a request, and sends the e-mail to physicians’ personal mobile phones. Responses from physicians outside the hospital are transferred to the cloud server, where a list of current response status is created and updated at all times, and shared in real-time among physicians both inside and outside the hospital
