Healthcare Integration Platform

In this paper we tackle the issue of exchanging and integrating medical information originating from different health care information systems. We propose a solution - Healthcare Integration Platform (HIP) - which utilises some of the concepts contained in the IHE profiles combined with the existing EHR standards in order to maintain a high level of interoperability. We confirm the value of our solution by presenting a working prototype based on our concepts. The prototype relies on the Service Oriented Architecture paradigm using RESTful web services.
