Proposed SOA Organisational Structure.pdf

– The purpose of this paper is to investigate service-oriented architecture organizational studies (SOA OS) in healthcare through a rigorous literature review, development and testing in an eGovernment health-care setting. The application of SOA paradigm to integrate information systems has been pursued mainly by private organizations. However, SOA starts to appear in the public agenda and specifically in health-care reengineering, as well. Recently, government strategies for eHealth have been slowly incorporating the SOA paradigm to integrate isolated systems, provide cost-effective solutions and expand the capabilities of their health-care information system. Yet, literature indicates that eHealth government strategies, including SOA, require the support of SOA OS to be successfully implemented.

本研究旨在通过严谨的文献综述，以及在电子政务医疗场景下的开发与测试，探究医疗领域的面向服务架构组织研究（service-oriented architecture organizational studies，简称SOA OS）。面向服务架构范式在信息系统集成领域的应用，此前主要由私营企业推行。然而，面向服务架构正逐步进入公共政策议程，尤其在医疗保健流程再造领域亦是如此。近年来，各国电子健康（eHealth）政府战略正逐步融入面向服务架构范式，以实现孤立信息系统的集成、提供高性价比的解决方案，并拓展其医疗信息系统的功能。但现有文献表明，包括面向服务架构在内的电子健康政府战略，若要成功落地，需获得SOA OS的支撑。
