Objective: Radiology information system (RIS) is basically evolved for the need of radiologists and ignores the vital steps needed for a proper work flow of Nuclear Medicine Department. Moreover, CT/MRI oriented classical PACS systems are far from satisfying Nuclear Physicians like storing dynamic data for reprocessing and quantitative analysis of colored images. Our purpose was to develop a workflow based Nuclear Medicine Information System (NMIS) that fulfills the needs of Nuclear Medicine Department and its integration to hospital PACS system. Material and Methods: Workflow in NMIS uses HL7 (health level seven) and steps include, patient scheduling and retrieving information from HIS (hospital information system), radiopharmacy, acquisition, digital reporting and approval of the reports using Nuclear Medicine specific diagnostic codes. Images and dynamic data from cameras of are sent to and retrieved from PACS system (Corttex©) for reprocessing and quantitative analysis. Results: NMIS has additional functions to the RIS such as radiopharmaceutical management program which includes stock recording of both radioactive and non-radioactive substances, calculation of the radiopharmaceutical dose for individual patient according to body weight and maximum permissible activity, and calculation of radioactivity left per unit volume for each radionuclide according their half lives. Patient scheduling and gamma camera patient work list settings were arranged according to specific Nuclear Medicine procedures. Nuclear Medicine images and reports can be retrieved and viewed from HIS.Conclusion: NMIS provides functionality to standard RIS and PACS system according to the needs of Nuclear Medicine. Conflict of interest:None declared.

With the growing demand of cloud computing most healthcare organizations are moving software to the cloud in form of web services. Web services are popular in terms of distributed technology that can successfully solve integration problems between heterogeneous systems. There is now an increasing demand for sharing medical records between healthcare providers due to treatment duplication between healthcare providers which increases the cost of medication as well as medical errors. This paper aims to provide a web service broker framework in the cloud that facilitates the exchange of medical records between a large variety of providers such as large and local hospitals, imaging labs, clinics, laboratories and healthcare institutes which will allow doctors to obtain a complete patient medical records, and allow healthcare organizations to avoid duplication, reduce medical errors and medical cost. Furthermore, the broker will provide a QoS-Based optimization algorithm that can discover and compose medical services based on healthcare requester workflow and QoS requirements. To demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our algorithm, a case study and experimental results will be provided.

The implementation of a message communication server (MCS) for facing the syntactic interoperability problem in medical communications is the main target of this work. The background of this implementation was a set of recommendations for the types of exchanged messages, general architecture and end-to-end users services, which have been introduced by the authors in [16]. MCS's architecture facilitates different medical information systems to visibly handle real world events and information, without any interference in the basic structure of these systems. The performance of MCS has been tested in three distinct phases employing the application and data store entities of three cooperating medical information systems, a Laboratory Information System (LIS), an Advanced Radiology Information System (RIS) and a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The evaluation of the developed MCS was also performed and the extracted statistics validated the high degree of MCS's effectiveness and efficiency.
