Abstract:
There is a constant need for medical information
systems that are easy to develop, flexible, reusable and mainly in
the present times ready to a high degree of interoperability. This
means a serious analysis of complex processes associated with
the system and building the model that ensures all the previously
mentioned requirements. The solution defended by this thesis
creates a modern technological support in tools and
methodologies for modeling, designing and implementing of
complex medical information systems that are ready to
communicate with other similar systems having as benefits the
improvement of medical services for patients. After defining the
requirements for information communication between EHR
systems a generic model of medical information system was
built. A methodological framework for validating the compliance
with these requirements and to assess the quality of
interoperability of electronic health records is proposed. New
software tools and components to ensure interoperability were
designed, developed and implemented based on the model. The
quality of the developed model and tools has been discussed
using proper metrics and validation of solutions was done on real
clinical data from Bega Clinic Timişoara.
