Role Based Access to Support Collaboration in Healthcare

Factors Affecting Cooperation Among Physicians in Sharing Information Within the Hospital Environment: A Study of Two Hospitals

“…Hence, there is an urgent need for integrated multi-HIS to provide an effective cooperative HISs environment (Yang et al, 2010). There are many cooperative HIS models (Aknine and Aknine, 1999); but, these models are developed as warehouses containing patient information (Skilton et al, 2008) and they are limited by their capability to react to system changes, especially in the circulation and updating of new data, knowledge and information (Kirikova, 2009). Over time, new requirements of cooperation among physicians will emerge to design cooperative HISs environment, where they need to Science Publications JCS maximize information sharing in order to provide accurate information in an appropriate and timely manner to support physicians' decisions, hence producing better healthcare services (Skilton et al, 2007).…”

“…According to the cooperation among physicians in sharing information within the hospital environment, there are many factors that lead to lack of access to relevant and up-to-date information among physicians (Skilton et al, 2008;Xiao et al, 2010), that may lead to poor cooperation activity (Reddy et al, 2011).…”

Improvement the Cooperation Feature in Distributed Healthcare Information Systems Based on the Fractal Approach: An Empirical Study

“…These requirements need to maximize information sharing among medical staff, such as physicians, to provide productive information in an appropriate and timely manner to support decisions of physicians and produce better healthcare services. However, current HISs are weak in terms of information circulation process between system units [7]. In addition, cooperation feature between current healthcare centres is an important issue to overcome many recent challenges, such as management and control of huge data in such complex systems, maintenance of autonomy for each site, and necessity for flexible cooperation approach.…”

“…In addition, cooperation feature between current healthcare centres is an important issue to overcome many recent challenges, such as management and control of huge data in such complex systems, maintenance of autonomy for each site, and necessity for flexible cooperation approach. These necessities of flexible leads to accommodate the dynamic nature of health services, acquire new knowledge from external environment in real-time, and produce multi-expert care team [5][6][7]. Therefore, the main requirements in such systems need highly flexible and cooperative units, which represent subsystems.…”
