A Cloud Platform for Clinical Information Exchange Based on Web Services

Abstract:

Nowadays in China, when the patients change medical institutions for treatment, the lack of clinical information sharing may result in loss of information, misdiagnoses, repetitive drug prescriptions, etc. This makes high cost and low efficiency, especially medical security problems. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel cloud platform for clinical information exchange between medical institutions based on web services; Data exchanges are using web services based on encrypted and compressed XML for interoperability and privacy. our architecture satisfies many requirements of medical institutions in China. Finally, we have developed a prototype that clinical information is shared between dozens of military hospitals.
