A conceptual model to support the integration of inter-organizational healthcare information systems

The inability to share information across systems is just one of the major impediments in the health care business that hinders progress towards efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This poster investigates workflow involvement of healthcare process in order to support and complement the transition of information and tasks among different healthcare organizations. This research examined dataflow between organizations. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual model for integrating healthcare information systems of various healthcare organizations. A case study among pharmacy, hospital and clinic is presented in this paper. Our experimental results show that this model is scalable and it can be easier to extend to pervasive computing environment. Petri net is the primary method for this model.
