MEDICAL TUTORIAL: PORTING OF A CLINICAL PORTAL BETWEEN HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS - Reuse of an Application in Health Informatics

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss the application of a methodology for the structured evaluation of the porting of an eHealth solution. In particular a web Information System in the area of Medical and Nursing Informatics, the portal developed by an Healthcare Organization for supporting clinical management processes, is taken as practical example of such a process. A procedure used for the evaluation of reuse in public administration is brought forward and, through the example, it is shown how it could be applied to Healthcare Management Systems.
