Abstract

Describes the design of a modular architecture for servers dedicated to sharing medical information between healthcare partners within the same regional area: hospitals, laboratories, general practitioners, etc. This architecture uses some results of the European project ISAR-Telematics. It is used itself as a model to implement a server for the North Pas de Calais region in France within the framework of the IRISI (Inter-Regional Information Society Initiative) projects. These servers allow medical information to be transmitted between different medical information systems of various types (hospital information systems, GPs´ software and laboratory information systems), which were not designed to satisfy interoperability problems. This architecture is based on widely-used technologies like the World Wide Web
