System Interoperability

SummaryThis paper reflects on the role of open source in health information system interoperability. Open source is a driving force in computer science research and the development of information systems. It facilitates the sharing of information and ideas, enables evolutionary development and open collaborative testing of code, and broadens the adoption of interoperability standards. In health care, information systems have been developed largely ad hoc following proprietary specifications and customized design. However, the wide deployment of integrated services such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) over regional health information networks (RHINs) relies on interoperability of the underlying information systems and medical devices.This reflection is built on the experiences of the PICNIC project that developed shared software infrastructure components in open source for RHINs and the OpenECG network that offers open source components to lower the implementation cost of interoperability standards such as SCP-ECG, in electrocardiography.Open source components implementing standards and a community providing feedback from real-world use are key enablers of health care information system interoperability.Investing in open source is investing in interoperability and a vital aspect of a long term strategy towards comprehensive health services and clinical research.

В работе рассматриваются цели и проблематика обеспечения интероперабельности информационно-управляющих систем региональных ситуационных центров. Выделены три типа проблем поддержки интероперабельности на технологическом, семантическом и организационном уровнях взаимодействия компонентов этих систем. Предлагаются пути решения задач обеспечения интероперабельности информационных систем ситуационных центров региона, основанные на применении агентных технологий и онтологий и обеспечивающие интеграцию распределенных компонентов в единую сетецентрическую среду и совместное использование информационных ресурсов. The paper considers goals and problems of information-management system interoperability support of the regional situational centers. Three types of the information system components interoperability support problem at technological, semantic and organizational interaction level are assigned. Problem-solving directions of information system interoperability support of regional situational centers based on application of multi-agent technologies and ontologies are proposed. That provides system component integration in the unified network-centric environment and information resources sharing.

An information system is a multi-axis system characterized by a “data” axis, a “behavioral” axis, and a “communication” axis. The data axis corresponds to the structural and schematic technologies used to store data into the system. The behavioral axis represents management and production processes carried out by the system and corresponding technologies. The processes can interact with the data to extract, generate, and store data. The communication axis relates to the network used to exchange data and activate processes between geographically distant users or machines. Nowadays, technologies required for interoperability are extended to deal with the semantic aspect of the information systems. The aim of the semantic axis is to take into account new aspects of the sharing of the data and the processes, such as the understanding of the data and the processes, the access security, and owner rights (OWL Services Coalition, 2006). Information system interoperation has emerged as a central design issue in Web-based information systems to allow data and service sharing among heterogeneous systems. Data heterogeneity stemming from the diversity of data formats or models used to represent and store information in the Web is a major obstacle to information systems interoperability. These data models range from the structured data models (network, relational, OO) found in traditional databases to flat files and emerging Web oriented semi-structured models. Information system interoperability aims at supporting the amalgamation autonomous heterogeneous systems to create integrated virtual environments or architectures in which information from multiple disparate sources can be accessed in a transparent and efficient manner. As an example of such integrated virtual systems, consider an airline reservation system based on the integration of a group of airlines reservation and ticket sale information systems. The specific airline systems provide various types of fares and special discount trips. That can be searched and compared to respond to user queries for finding the best available prices for specified flights.
