Area of Science:

Computer Science
Health Informatics

Background:

Traditional methods for modeling hospital information systems (HIS) present challenges.
Existing approaches like Structured Analysis and Entity-Relationship-Model have limitations in representing complex communication needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To model a hospital information system using an object-oriented approach.
To identify and represent communication requirements within the computer-based HIS.
To develop an information server and object-oriented communication interfaces for application programs.

Main Methods:

Utilized an object-oriented modeling paradigm.
Focused on analyzing and defining communication needs.
Designed an information server architecture.
Developed object-oriented interfaces for system integration.

Main Results:

Successfully modeled the HIS using an object-oriented approach, overcoming limitations of classic methods.
Defined and represented key communication requirements within the system.
Configured an information server to manage system interactions effectively.
Developed communication interfaces at an object-oriented level for enhanced interoperability.

Conclusions:

The object-oriented approach provides a robust framework for HIS modeling.
This methodology enhances the representation of communication needs and system interactions.
The developed information server and interfaces facilitate seamless data exchange and application integration in healthcare settings.
