“…Post-2000, SOA became the standard, new-generation information system model (Erl, 2004). The SOA approach facilitates reuse of domain services between disparate systems and incorporation of domain knowledge into software artefacts, and its flexibility facilitates tailoring and personalization of the systems to the needs of individual users or user groups (Stav et al, 2013).…”

“…SOA can provides simpler component of the software for some complex business process which means SOA can improve software reusability and increase the satisfaction of the end user. The purpose of saving costs will also be achieved in the end of the IT project (Stav et al, 2013). In recent years, SOA has been widely applied in the medical field's information systems (Li, Wang, Lu, Lin, & Yen, 2012;Babamir & Arafard, 2012;Steurbaut et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2012;Hsieh, Hsieh, Cheng, & Lai, 2012;De Capua, Meduri, & Morello, 2010;Park & Nam, 2012).…”

“…It is necessary to explore an architectural styles to support trans-institutional information sharing (Haux, 2004), in the elderly care domain because the services for the elderly and disabled do not exist in isolation (Stav et al, 2013). There are a large set of independently developed systems and services in existing environments in the elderly care domain.…”

“…There are a large set of independently developed systems and services in existing environments in the elderly care domain. These systems and services should be able to communicate with each other not only be exchanging data but also understanding each other's data to increase the standard care issues (Stav et al, 2013). SOA platform with a set of reusable domain services is a suitable foundation for more rapid development and assist living systems covering reoccurring needs among the users in the elderly care institution.…”

“…Therefore, it is needed to simplify the development and reduce the development costs. The developers need to collect the knowledge base to store similar service function components to reduce the development costs and develop high quality services (Stav, Walderhaug, Mikalsen, Hanke, & Benc, 2013).…”

Purpose -The caring approach for long-term care is different with the general care because it emphasizes comprehensive health care. If the system establishment lacks integrated concepts, the system will then be unsuitable. This study aims to develop an innovative system project based on the whole person concept and provides the experience for applying the concept of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to integrate different operations of the system which called U-care project.Method -This involves substituting the function module of the original system architecture with a service-based approach to provide a service interface. In addition, there must be a connection between the well-defined interface for the services and the formation of comprehensively integrated system architecture. Evaluations were 18 conducted both on the programmers of the U-care project and on end user experience form using the system.Results -The results describe our resulting functional design of the system. The implanted experience based on SOA was also presented and the services were success practice in a long term care institution.Conclusion -The contribution of this paper is the project functional design and practical feasibility. It also showed the SOA platform with a set of reusable domain function service is suitable for the long term care institution. It can support the actual improvement on the project development schedule and operational performance of personnel.Recommendations -Further work on emphasizing the establishment of domain knowledge by developers when developing long-term care related software to reduce difficulties in communication with users, refining the process applied to the SOA is recommended to improve the efficiency of the project.Research Implications -Service-oriented computing promotes the approach of assembling application components into a network of services that can be loosely coupled to create flexible, dynamic business processes and agile applications. Therefore, the architecture of service oriented uses services to support development teams can achieve rapid, low cost, interoperable, evolvable and massively distributed long term care system.
