Abstract:
Due to the diversity of information systems in healthcare and the need of accessing data in a ubiquitous and pervasive manner, the interoperability issue has grown in importance. This work presents how the Levels of Information System Interoperability model can be applied to study the interoperability degree in order to interconnect healthcare information systems. This work presents an algorithm adapted for healthcare information system, which can determine the message exchange rate between healthcare information systems. The analysis is done looking at a hospital department (obstetrics-gynecology), general practitioner offices, radiology departments and laboratories that work together and have different information systems. This algorithm computes the interoperability degree from the technical interoperability point of view. A tool which calculates automatically the technical interoperability of a healthcare information system, based on the proposed algorithm, is under development. The benefits resulting from the calculus of the interoperability degree are reflected in the assessment of the status of informatization and degree of intercommunication in a certain healthcare environment. Also, it is helpful for software developers to know what is expected from a good application for the domain.
