Abstract :
Interoperability is one of the most important requirements for the next generation Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) that permits healthcare institutes to use heterogeneous solutions from different vendors. Introducing standards in eHealth domain, such as Health Level 7 (HL7) used for data representation, and Integrating Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles for describing interactions between actors, is important to support interoperability of healthcare systems. This work addresses the challenges of interoperability testing of different HL7/IHE based HIS systems and introduces a testing methodology and its realization test framework based on TTCN-3 language.
