The 1st and 2nd Regional Health Care System Authority of Central Macedonia (1st and 2nd PeSY) are two of the seventeen Regional Healthcare System Authorities in Greece. Every single PeSY aims to improve the level of quality that health care organisations offer as well as to control the expenditure of health care services provided by the health care organisations, Hospitals and Primary Care Health units. There is currently an urgent need for Regional Health Authorities to deploy integrated healthcare information system, based on secure networks. The limited interoperability of current hospital information systems (HIS) poses a risk for the management of patient related information since there is a difficulty to transform processed data into useful information and knowledge. Thus, a pilot system was developed to achieve data integration record synchronisation using the Health Level 7 protocol between the existing HIS of two Hospitals of Thessaloniki and the central Offices of the PeSY. The pilot was funded by the Third Community Support Framework (jointly funded by EU and Greece) funds in order to prepare the forthcoming major healthcare IT projects in Greece. It is shown that such a system is pragmatic, achieves data integration and provides acceptable integration costs.
中马其顿地区第一和第二医疗保健系统管理局（第一和第二PeSY）是希腊17个地区医疗保健系统管理局中的两个。每个PeSY都旨在提高医疗保健机构提供的服务质量水平，并控制医疗保健机构、医院和初级保健卫生单位所提供医疗服务的支出。目前，地区卫生当局迫切需要基于安全网络部署综合医疗信息系统。当前医院信息系统（HIS）有限的互操作性给患者相关信息的管理带来了风险，因为将处理后的数据转化为有用的信息和知识存在困难。因此，开发了一个试点系统，以使用Health Level 7协议在塞萨洛尼基两家医院现有的HIS与PeSY的中央办公室之间实现数据集成记录同步。该试点由第三社区支持框架（由欧盟和希腊联合资助）提供资金，以便为希腊即将开展的重大医疗信息技术项目做准备。结果表明，这样的系统是务实的，能够实现数据集成并提供可接受的集成成本。
