Abstract

Healthcare systems seek to provide services of high quality and profound safety through Healthcare Information Systems (HIS). Despite the potential benefits of HIS and the significant efforts that have been made, it has been reported that healthcare systems have a low success rate. It has been reported that the lack of interoperability still affects the services provided to patients and citizens. In this paper we (a) propose a novel healthcare processes and services classification, (b) present the HIS challenges and (c) suggest a solution based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which can increase the interoperability among systems and hence the quality of provided healthcare services.
