Integrationsarchitekturen entwickeln sich zu einem zentralen Thema im Gesundheitswesen.Parallel zu der Bestrebung der Bundesregierung, eine interoperable Telematikplattform fürdas Gesundheitswesen entwickeln zu lassen, wächst auch das Interesse der medizinischenLeistungserbringer, allen voran...

intra-organizational communication and media frictions complicate the continuous provision ofinformation according to the principle of information logistics. Based on extensive literaturereview, we present the vision of seamless healthcare with horizontally and vertically integratedhealthcare...

In this paper we describe a generic model of a patient health portal, which is suitable to implement patient access to the evolving German healthcare telematics infrastructure. The portal uses the telematics as a communication infrastructure to ensure the concise and secure exchange of medical...

Germany is introducing a nation-wide health telematics infrastructure that enables various electronic health services (EHS). Little is known about the burdens and drivers for potential adoption of these innovations. Based on a quantitative study among German physicians participating in pilot...

Clinical pathways describe treatment processes within a hospital. They can be used as process models, which can be controlled by implemented workflow models in information systems. This enables (semi-) automated processes, and they are therefore high potential for an improved quality management...

Service oriented device architecture (SODA) is a promising approach for enabling a continuous IT support of medical processes in hospitals. However, there is a lack of specific design patterns for realizing the concept in an effective and efficient way. This paper addresses this research gap by...
