Abstract

The most computerized health-care applications are traditionally stand-alone applications without integration. This incurs significant costs, and inconvenience. This paper reports on work concerning the integration of existing computer based systems which is formally known as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) in order to support every day activities. An architecture which include four layers for cooperative work in heterogeneous medical information systems is presented. And an example application scenario involving integration of application between HIS (hospital information system) and LIS (laboratory information system) is discussed
