Abstract :
The paper presents a multi-tier, integrated, distributed, inpatient healthcare information system based on service oriented architecture (SOA) .NET environment in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). The architecture and outcomes of the newly developed inpatient information system (IIS) platform are discussed in details. We also present mechanisms of integration as well as interoperability among the components and multi-database in IIS via health level seven (HL7) Middleware layer. The preliminary performance of the current operating IIS is evaluated and analyzed to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the architecture we designed.
