SummaryIn this paper two major tasks of health telematics are identified: telemedicine to support the physicians and collaborative health information systems additionally incorporating the patient. In the field of telemedicine, exemplary scenarios of teleconsultation/teletherapy but also the creation of joint electronic patient records by several healthcare providers are described in detail and analysed. Those are teleradiology, telepathology, and telesurgery. On the other side, collaborative health information systems provide several means to actively incorporate the empowered patient in the care process. We illustrate the approach of sharing a patient's electronic medical record with the patient and distinguish it from alternative approaches, such as email communications between patients and doctors or patient empowerment through web-based information services. For all such applications, recent trends in research and implementation are analysed and the technological as well as legal requirements are discussed.

The development of Internet technology and Web-based applications made health information more accessible than ever before from many locations by multiple health providers and health plans. In this chapter, security in health information systems is put into perspective. The further penetration of information technology into healthcare is discussed, and it is concluded that information systems have already become a vital component, not only for the logistics of the healthcare institution but also for the rendering of care and cure.

Accountability For Reasonableness

Existing literature often addresses the ethical problems posed by health informatics. Instead of this problem-based approach, this chapter explores the ethical benefits of health information systems in an attempt to answer the question “can health information systems make organizations more accountable, beneficent, and more responsive to a patient’s right to self determination?” It does so by unpacking the accountability for reasonableness framework in ethical decision making and the concepts of beneficence and self-determination. The framework and the concepts are discussed in light of four commonly used health information systems, namely: Web-based publicly accessible inventories of services; Web-based patient education; telemedicine; and the electronic medical record. The objective of this chapter is to discuss the ethical principles that health information systems actually help to achieve, with a view to enabling researchers, clinicians, and managers make the case for the development and maintenance of these systems in a client-centered fashion.

SummaryTo identify current challenges and developments in health information systems.Reports on HIS, eHealth and process support were analyzed, core problems and challenges were identified.Health information systems are extending their scope towards regional networks and health IT infrastructures. Integration, interoperability and interaction design are still today’s core problems. Additional problems arise through the integration of genetic information into the health care process. There are noticeable trends towards solutions for these problems.

Abstract Background Healthcare relies on health information systems (HISs) to support the care and receive reimbursement for the care provided. Healthcare providers experience many problems with their HISs due to improper architecture design. To support the design of a proper HIS architecture, a reference architecture (RA) can be used that meets the various stakeholder concerns of HISs. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop and analyze an RA following well-established architecture design methods. Methods Domain analysis was performed to scope and model the domain of HISs. For the architecture design, we applied the views and beyond approach and designed the RA’s views based on the stakeholders and features from the domain analysis. We evaluated the RA with a case study. Results We derived the following four architecture views for HISs: The context diagram, decomposition view, layered view, and deployment view. Each view shows the architecture of the HIS from a different angle, suitable for various stakeholders. Based on a Japanese hospital information system study, we applied the RA and derived the application architecture. Conclusion We demonstrated that the methods of the software architecture design community could be used in the healthcare domain effectively and showed the applicability of the RA.

Information systems (IS) help in managing healthcare costs and in improving the quality of care. IS are uniquely positioned to capture, store, process, and communicate timely information to decision makers for better coordination of healthcare at both the individual and population levels. One of the most interesting aspects of HIS (Health Information System) is how to manage the relationship between healthcare providers and patients. The main focus of this Chapter is a brief overview of Health Information Systems and the description of the techniques that can be used to develop the health information systems. There are various emerging tools and technologies in creating and managing HIS like data mining and geographical information system. Developing HIS can improve access for geographically isolated communities; provide support for health care workers; aid in data sharing; provide visual tools linking population and environmental information with disease outbreaks.

The Web

Information accountability is seen as a mode of usage control on the Web. Due to its many dimensions, information accountability has been expressed in various ways by computer scientists to address security and privacy in recent times. Information accountability is focused on how users participate in a system and the underlying policies that govern the participation. Healthcare is a domain in which the principles of information accountability can be utilised well. Modern health information systems are Internet based and the discipline is called eHealth. In this paper, the authors identify and discuss the goals of accountability systems and present the principles of information accountability. They characterise those principles in eHealth and discuss them contextually. They identify the current impediments to eHealth in terms of information privacy issues of eHealth consumers together with information usage requirements of healthcare providers and show how information accountability can be used in a healthcare context to address these needs. The challenges of implementing information accountability in eHealth are also discussed in terms of our efforts thus far.
