It is! Our main server is the telepathology network at the University of
Basel (http://telepath.patho.unibas.ch). This server is operational
since 2001 and presently is hosting some 800 pathologists (and other
medical specialists) and approx 3500 consultations have been performed. 

A few examples:
Telepathology:
Solomon Islands (330 consultations), Cambodia (350), Bangladesh (130),
Laos (+-50), bone tumours group in Europe (80), hepathopathology  .....

other applications
Multi-center studies (500), tumour board meetings (200), neonatology in
Ukraine (45) .....

Intraoperative frozen sections with remote controlled microscope: 1
application in Switzerland (+- 50 consultations/year)

In addition, there are some few other servers.

Maybe not really. But rather an integrated hospital information system.

There is none of the total system, but of single parts:

telepathology/medicine: 
http://telepath.patho.unibas.ch
http://telemed.utr.ac.za

medline access by email:
http://pm2mail.krot.org (description)

(this one could easily be extended to an intranet solution, embedded
into care2s - maybe not interesting in US/Europe, where online medline
access is available, but in developing countries, it could be helpful.
Maybe, other libraries could be included. Goes a bit into the direction
of the TeK project at MIT)
