What drives connected health Governments Citizens Healthcare organizations Health insurance organizations World health care institutions Research entities / Universities
Goals in healthcare business Intelligence via information sharing Decrease latencies in connected services Providing the best possible service through accurate and timely information sources Reduce manual executions to reduce human errors (i.e data entry etc.) High availability of medical information Big data analytics for healthcare research
Technology landscape in healthcare Heterogeneous devices / applications / data formats / protocols (i.e hospital information system) heterogenous integrations in a hospital
Protocols & Data formats HL7 (v2 / v3 / FHIR) over HTTP SOAP / XML over HTTP REST / JSON over HTTP Messaging over JMS XML, CSV over FTP Custom binary protocols (certain HC devices) Legacy CORBA based systems
Interoperability Interoperability issues are solved via a bus architecture in Health Care Information System (HCIS) interoperability with healthcare bus architecture
Data federation & mediation In a distributed HCIS data can reside in multiple different locations Some data needs to be consolidated before consumption Aggregation of data can be a function of data federation and service mediation
Data governance & entitlement Distributed transactions (maintaining the ACID properties in health data) Who can access the data From where the data is accessed Entitlement policies
Complex health events Readings of healthcare devices (HC telemetries) Alerts and events of registered patients Scheduling of surgeries / patient care Insurance claim management Disease control and vaccination related alerts Hospital inventory management Equipment maintenance alerts
