Thanks to telstra we are at least 10 years from an Internet infrastructure reliable and fast enough for fully offsite medical records. What it possible, as many have said, is a "black-box" server, with remote administration and backup via SSH, the GP can plug-in and forget, but retains long uptimes and full ownership of the records. But it needs a non-Windows EHR, so round and round we go again.....
