The systems development life cycle to facilitate progression towards semantic and organizational interoperability for healthcare system

Abstract

Model of healthcare system interoperability should provide accurate interpretation of medical information and the exchange of data and services through modern technologies and infrastructure for improvement of the healthcare system. The existence of numerous standards in medicine and their adoption facilitated the establishment of interoperability, but a complete semantic and organizational interoperability is still not achieved. In this paper, interoperability is considered within the methodological framework of the systems development life cycle on semantic and organizational level of interoperability. Life cycle of semantic web services and semantic technology through the proposed phases indicates the solution of misunderstandings in the exchange of information and improvement of services in the health system. Life cycle of business processes interoperability through the proposed phases facilitate understanding of common business processes, which increases the efficiency of the healthcare system. An example of the introduction of new procedures into the health system was presented through life cycle of the common stream of proposed phases as one methodological proceeding.
