Healthcare Informatics suffers from the lack of information exchange among domain partners. Allowing cooperation among distributed and heterogeneous applications is a major need of current healthcare information systems. Beyond the communication and integration problems, medical information itself is by nature complex, combined with data and knowledge. The increasing number of standards and representation of the same data in different structures using these standards constitute another problem in the domain. Platform and implementation independency makes Web service technology the natural way to solve the interoperability problems in the healthcare domain. Standardizing the access to data through WSDL and SOAP rather than standardizing the electronic health record will help to overcome the integration problems among different standards in medical information systems. However, introducing Web services to the healthcare systems will not suffice to solve the problems in the domain unless the semantics of the services are exploited. This thesis aims to show that by generating web services and classifying these services through their functionalities, it is possible to achieve the interoperability among healthcare institutes, such as hospitals. The designed system is based on Artemis P2P Framework, and the annotation of the system is realized in the same framework.

Artemis message exchange framework: Semantic interoperability of exchanged messages in the healthcare domain
Bicer, V; Laleci, GB; Doğaç, Asuman; Kabak, Y (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2005-09-01)
One of the most challenging problems in the healthcare domain is providing interoperability among healthcare information systems. In order to address this problem, we propose the semantic mediation of exchanged messages. Given that most of the messages exchanged in the healthcare domain are in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) or XML format, we describe how to transform these messages into OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontology instances. The OWL message instances are then mediated through an ontology mapping...
Integration of Federated Medical Systems for Vendor Neutral Image Access in Teleradiology Applications
Yilmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Baykal, Nazife (2014-09-03)
This paper proposes a framework designed to interconnect medical imaging facilities and teleradiology service providers on a single access interface. This framework aims to solve the interoperability issues of Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Radiology Information System (RIS) and Hospital Information System (HIS) developed by different vendors and enrich the digital health record delivered to non-local radiologists or physicians with the integrated information from several systems. This i...
A cross-sectional investigation of acceptance of health information technology: A nationwide survey of community pharmacists in Turkey
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2016-11-01)
Background: Health information technologies have become vital to health care services. In that regard, successful use of information technologies in pharmaceutical services is important to manage, control and maintain pharmaceutical transactions, which increase the quality of health care delivery.
A Systematic Literature Review on Health Recommender Systems
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-11-23)
Health Information Systems are becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, Health Recommender Systems (HRS) are presented as complementary tools in decision making processes in health care services. Health Recommender Systems increase usability of technologies and reduce information overload in processes. In this paper, a literature review was conducted by following a review procedure. Major approaches in HRS were outlined and findings were discussed. The paper presented current...
A Secure Semantic Interoperability Infrastructure for Inter-Enterprise Sharing of Electronic Healthcare Records
Boniface, Mike; Watkins, E. Rowland; Saleh, Ahmed; Doğaç, Asuman; Eichelberg, Marco (2006-06-09)
Healthcare professionals need access to accurate and complete healthcare records for effective assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients. The non-interoperability of healthcare information systems means that inter-enterprise access to a patient's history over many distributed encounters is difficult to achieve. The ARTEMIS project has developed a secure semantic web service infrastructure for the interoperability of healthcare information systems. Healthcare professionals share services and medical in...
