Includes bibliographical references (p. [54]).
Electronic medical records (EMR) have the advantage of being easy to modify, organize, and distribute and would give healthcare providers a more complete patient history. The ideal EMR system should maintain records that are easily transferable and are administered and owned by the patient. One such system striving to meet those needs is Personal Internetworked Notary and Guardian (PING). A system like PING would run off a single server. The problem with centralized storage is that it creates a single point of failure which has the potential for problems. I propose a distributed storage system that is similar to RAID 5 system. This Distributed RAID System provides reads at approximately 1MB/sec. Writes however are slow, but could be improved by running the Distributed RAID system on different hardware.

<Abstract>Electronic medical records (EMR) have the advantage of being easy to modify, organize, and distribute and would give healthcare providers a more complete patient history. The ideal EMR system should maintain records that are easily transferable and are administered and owned by the patient. One such system striving to meet those needs is Personal Internetworked Notary and Guardian (PING). A system like PING would run off a single server. The problem with centralized storage is that it creates a single point of failure which has the potential for problems. I propose a distributed storage system that is similar to RAID 5 system. This Distributed RAID System provides reads at approximately 1MB/sec. Writes however are slow, but could be improved by running the Distributed RAID system on different hardware.</Abstract>
