“…The Generic Component Model (GCM) [6], has been developed and applied to several health issues [55]. Although not specific to health, RM-ODP has generally also been applied in a health setting [19] as has TOGAF [48,56] and elements of the Zachman framework [57].…”

Abstract-Consolidating currently fragmented health information systems in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) into a coherent national information system will increase operational efficiencies, improve decision-making and will lead to better health outcomes. However, engineering an enterprise information system of the scale and complexity of a national health information system (NHIS) pose unique and complex challenges in LMICs. In this paper, we review current approaches to NHIS development and discuss challenges faced by LMICs to develop their NHIS. Based on current LMIC systems we identify three stages of system evolution and propose that LMICs should follow an evolutionary, middle-out approach to NHIS development supported by appropriate architectural frameworks.Keywords-national health information systems, low and medium income countries, architectural frameworks, architectural approaches

“…Considering the heterogeneity, scale and complexity of the NHIS it can be classified as an enterprise information system and can benefit from the work done in the design of frameworks and architectures in this area [4,6]. However NHIS in LMICs have several characteristics that set them apart from traditional enterprise information systems.…”

“…As the journal's major focus is on publications in medical informatics, we can mainly find publications in traditional areas of this discipline such as electronic patient records [18] and health information systems (HIS); those addressing a variety of questions on HIS architectures [19]; HIS processes [20]; HIS standards [21]; or evaluation of HIS [22]. There were also publications in other traditional areas of medical informatics such as knowledgebased decision support [23] or biomedical signal [24] and image [25] processing.…”

SummaryBackground: Founded in 1962 and, therefore, the oldest international journal in medical informatics, Methods of Information in Medicine will publish its 50th volume in 2011. At the start of the journal's sixth decade, a discussion on the journal's profile seems appropriate. Objectives: To report on the new opportunities for online access to Methods publications as well as on the recent strategic decisions regarding the journal's aims and editorial policies. Methods: Describing and analyzing the journal's aims and scope. Reflecting on recent publications and on the journal's development during the last decade.

“…Develop evaluation processes . Health care systems need ever evolving metrics and processes to evaluate the system's performances, as for three main aspects at least: cost control, public health and well-being performances, and customer satisfaction (Valeri et al 2010 ;Blobel 2010 ) .…”

This study has three purposes: First, to provide a synthetic, up-to-date overview of the main emerging strategies for the health care sector in the Western developed countries; second, to understand the possible role of eHealth solutions in each of these emerging strategies; third, to understand how these emerging health care strategies and emerging eHealth solutions may be usefully applied to address one of the most important challenges for health care systems, i.e. population ageing. The overview on emerging strategies and emerging eHealth solutions provided here is based on a literature review including a wide spectrum of recent documents published on the Web about health care and eHealth. The outcome of this document search is a concept matrix linking emerging health care strategies and emerging eHealth solutions. This concept matrix is used as a framework to synthetically describe how eHealth initiatives are perceived by different stakeholders, such as investors, policy makers, insurance companies, PA bodies, researchers and academics, health care professionals, patients.

Abstract: For personal health, bridging between disciplines including ontology coordination is the crucial demand. All aspects of the design and development process have to be considered from an architectural viewpoint.
