Integrating health information systems (HIS) requires a collaborative approach. The PlugIT project in Finland demonstrated that multidisciplinary and open methods are essential for successful HIS integration projects.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems Integration
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Existing health information systems (HIS) present integration challenges.
  • Various approaches exist for HIS integration projects.
  • The PlugIT project in Finland explored novel integration strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the collaborative, multidisciplinary, and open integration approach used in the PlugIT project.
  • To relate generic integration models to the practical methods and solutions implemented.
  • To provide general guidelines for health information system integration projects based on project experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized generic integration models for framework.
  • Documented methods, solutions, and experiences from nine integration teams.
