An Integrated Healthcare Enterprise Information Portal and Healthcare Information System Framework

Abstract

The paper presents an integrated, distributed Healthcare Enterprise Information Portal (HEIP) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS) framework over wireless/wired infrastructure at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). A single sign-on solution for the hospital customer relationship management (CRM) in HEIP has been established. The outcomes of the newly developed Outpatient Information Systems (OIS) in HIS are discussed. The future HEIP blueprints with CRM oriented features: e-Learning, Remote Consultation and Diagnosis (RCD), as well as on-Line Vaccination Services are addressed. Finally, the integrated HEIP and HIS architectures based on the middleware technologies are proposed along with the feasible approaches. The preliminary performance of multi-media, time-based data exchanges over the wireless HEIP side is collected to evaluate the efficiency of the architecture.

A Data-Mining Framework for Transnational Healthcare System

“…Due to SOA [20], which was already adopted by NTUH [21], most of the system functions are implemented as web services. It becomes very convenient to expand the system modules and to integrate with other heterogeneous systems.…”

A Dynamic Healthcare Portal Design and Enhancements

“…Legacy HIS, database. This data exchange processing can ensure all data in the systems, i.e., HIS and Outsourcing Systems, are updated and consistent as indicated in the back-end facilities (Hsieh et al, 2006;Hsieh et al, 2007;Weng et al, 2006). To increase the performance of the NTUH HIS, a cluster of identical servers are deployed and dispatched dynamically by introducing Layer 4 and Layer 2 Switches.…”

“…To accomplish these, each layer addresses its primary functionalities. For examples, in the Security layer, a single sign on environment for all users is the basis of providing a single point of entrance (Russler et al, 2001;Hsieh et al, 2006). The Enterprise Application Integration layer provides the ability to exchange and integrate data among applications via open standards, e.g.…”

Understanding Discrepancy: A Conceptual Persistent Healthcare Quality Improvement Process for Software Development Management

“…The HIS contains multiple components operating independently, e.g., Outpatient Information Systems (OIS), Inpatient Information System (IIS), and Emergency Treatment Information System (EIS). The client/server approach was designed and implemented in the system (Cheng, 2005;Hsieh, 2006).…”
