Providing an interoperability infrastructure for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) is on the agenda of many national and regional eHealth initiatives. Two important integration profiles have been specified for this purpose: the "IHE Cross-enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)" and the "IHE Cross Community Access (XCA)". XDS describes how to share EHRs in a community of healthcare enterprises and XCA describes how EHRs are shared across communities. However, currently no solution addresses some of the important challenges of cross community exchange environments. The first challenge is scalability. If every community joining the network needs to connect to every other community, this solution will not scale. Furthermore, each community may use a different coding vocabulary for the same metadata attribute in which case the target community cannot interpret the query involving such an attribute. Another important challenge is that each community has a different patient identifier domain. Querying for the patient identifiers in another community using patient demographic data may create patient privacy concerns. Yet another challenge in cross community EHR access is the EHR interoperability since the communities may be using different EHR content standards.

Providing Interoperability of eHealth Communities Through Peer-to-Peer Networks
Kılıç, Özgün Ozan; Eichelberg, Marco (2010-05-01)
Providing an interoperability infrastructure for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) is on the agenda of many national and regional eHealth initiatives. Two important integration profiles have been specified for this purpose, namely, the "Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Cross-enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)" and the "IHE Cross Community Access (XCA)." IHE XDS describes how to share EHRs in a community of healthcare enterprises and IHE XCA describes how EHRs are shared across communities. Howe...
Sharing electronic healthcare records across country borders
Yüksel, Mustafa; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
Today, the application of information and communication technologies to healthcare is on the agenda of many countries. The main aim is to make Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) of a patient accessible anywhere at any time to all authorized users. This is even valid in the cross-border case; the European Commission has published eHealth interoperability recommendations to the EU Member States, in which the RIDE Project contributed, for the purpose of an interoperable European Health Network. Interoperable ...
Energy- aware task scheduling over mobile ad hoc networks
Bokar, Ali; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) can be formed dynamically without the support of any existing infrastructure or any centralized administration. They consist of heterogeneous mobile nodes which are powered by batteries, move arbitrarily and are connected by wireless links. Battery energy limitation is one of the main challenges in the MANETs. Several hardware and software based techniques have been proposed in this field. Most of the previous studies have considered only the energy minimization of individual...
Design and implementation of a plug-in framework for distributed object technologies
Kadıoğlu, Koray; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
This thesis presents a framework design and implementation that enables run-time selection of different remote call mechanisms. In order to implement an extendable and modular system with run-time upgrading facility, a plug-in framework design is used. Since such a design requires enhanced usage of run-time facilities of the programming language that is used to implement the framework, in this study Java is selected because of its reflection and dynamic class loading facilities. A sample usage of this frame...
Design and implementation of mobile patient data collection and transmission for an emergency ambulance
Kösen, Emre; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Information Systems (2004)
In this thesis, a low-cost system, called Mobile Ambulance, is designed and implemented that provides patient̕s medical data collection and transmission from a moving ambulance. The aim of the system is to decrease the waiting time for critical care patients to be seen at the emergency department (ED) at the same time to equip the emergency physician with the essential medical data before the patient arrives the ED. Mobile Ambulance is a multi-tiered distributed application composed of three components: amb...
