A rapidly increasing number of health care provider institutions is dealing with data architecture design issues that directly affect the quality of data within their heterogeneous information systems. These problems result from a failure to recognize that they are actually managing a loosely distributed yet integrated database among their many information system platforms. Understanding the issues surrounding data integration, the application available interface standards, and the tools available for implementation is critical to operating a successful distributed health care information systems environment today.
越来越多的医疗保健服务机构正在处理数据架构设计问题,这些问题直接影响其异构信息系统中数据的质量。这些问题是由于未能认识到他们实际上是在众多信息系统平台之间管理一个松散分布但集成的数据库。了解围绕数据集成、可用的应用程序接口标准以及可用于实施的工具等问题,对于如今成功运营分布式医疗保健信息系统环境至关重要。
