Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Technology in Healthcare

Background:

  • Increasing cost pressures in managed care necessitate efficient healthcare information systems.
  • Organizations face a choice between 'best of breed' multi-vendor systems and integrated single-vendor solutions.
  • Interoperability challenges persist despite standardized data content (HL7, ANSI X12, Edifact).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the need for enhanced connectivity between disparate healthcare systems.
  • To explore the application of Microsoft's ActiveX enterprise object technology in healthcare.
  • To highlight the benefits of component software for end-users in the healthcare industry.

Main Methods:

  • Migration of system interfaces from serial to network connections.
  • Standardization of information content through industry efforts (HL7, ANSI X12, Edifact).
  • Leveraging Microsoft's enterprise object technology (ActiveX) for healthcare system integration.

Main Results:

  • Increased connectivity between diverse healthcare systems is a key factor for interoperability.
  • Microsoft's ActiveX technology is being introduced to the healthcare sector.
  • Component software is identified as a beneficial technology for healthcare end-users.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced system connectivity is vital for overcoming interoperability hurdles in healthcare IT.
  • Component software, exemplified by Microsoft's ActiveX, offers significant advantages for healthcare information systems.
  • Focusing on component software can provide greater benefits to end-users compared to solely object-oriented approaches.
