  • Abstract
    This paper describes a perspective on medical information integration as implemented by the Portuguese Program TICE.Healthy. The eight subprojects that integrate TICE.Healthy share a common database for medical data, and exchange data using standard formats. Because the subprojects deal with data of different nature, strategies were developed to allow the effective integration of this data. This paper describes the strategies adopted by the consortium, its discovered best practices and eventual pitfalls.
