Paper Abstract:
|
Interest for medical IT infrastructures and interoperability between health professionals is growing. The electronic
exchange of information is benefit (reduced cost, faster transmission, etc.) but misuses of such sensitive data must be
avoided. Many countries or communities are establishing e-health strategies for a better interoperability. However it
remains a complex problem. Indeed the number of developed standards and legal bases such as data protection, for
instance, do not make it trivial. The Swiss Confederation is also working on an eHealth strategy. In this context, the
MediCoordination project presented in this paper aims to analyse and validate the interoperability between health
professionals at a regional scale and to implement two scenarios with prototypes. These scenarios have been created in
collaboration with two hospitals, two private practices and a medical software provider. The first scenario is the release
notice transmission from the hospital to private practices; the second is the admission of a patient in the hospital. The
design and development of the prototypes has begun in early 2009. The experiences gained will be helpful for further
wider projects. |
