Interoperability in Health care Information Systems

Agenda

• Background & problem

• Our research and strategy

• Summary and reflections

Background

• Value-based Health care

• Big data

• Internet of Things

• Previous studies

• RQ1. What are the interoperability drivers in HISs?

• RQ2. To what extent can the implementation of interoperability characteristics defined in open standards improve the flow of information in HISs?

Interoperability

"Interoperability is the ability of multiple systems to use each others services effectively“ (Pokraev, 2009), pp. 19.

• Technical interoperbility

• Semantic interoperbility

• Process interoperbility

Open standards

• “A standard is an agreed, repeatable way of doing something. It is a published document that contains a technical specification or other precise criteria designed to be used consistently as a rule, guideline, or definition.” The British Standard Institution.

• Open standard requirements

Research strategy

• Case study

• Västra Götalandsregionen, Region Halland and Region Skåne

• Respondents

• Data analysis

• Generalizability
