Abstract :
The increment of life expectancy in our society, and the consequent population ageing, anticipate that the health sector must face the challenges associated with a growing population group of elderly patients with numerous disorders, generally chronic. In this work we introduce a framework to support the communication and information management tasks involved in a coordinated care of this kind of patients. This framework has been developed in the European context, it is compliant with CEN´s prEN12967, and follows ITU-T´s ODP methodology, that facilitates its integration in any system following this standard
