Abstract :
The research background of this paper is a large-scale hospital system. The reasons why it is difficult to develop the system are: there are many subsystems and legacy systems; and business is complicated etc. Existing large-scale hospital systems always use point-to-point methods (such as socket) to implement integration, so they lack the support to complex hospital business processes and it is difficult to assure fluent execution of business processes. This paper provides a workflow-based large-scale hospital system integration solution that uses Adapter, Web Services, JMS and other technologies; it solves all kinds of difficulties and problems. Practice illustrates that the integration solution is feasible.
