Abstract

SmartFSE in course of development in Sicily Region is a longitudinal EHR based on an IT infrastructure that supports the shift from organization-centric to patient-centric model of healthcare service delivery. In order to facilitate collaborative, multidisciplinary and cross-organizational healthcare delivery processes, SmartFSE provides e-services that promote the interoperability by enabling not only communication among authorized healthcare professionals, but also sharing of the Virtual Healthcare Record, an authoritative, multi-dimensional view on the citizens´ health state. The SmartFSE´s approach, its origin in the LUMIR system and peculiarities, and its use as an integration platform for health. The architectural issues for integration of the regional information system are emphasized.
