Both regional health information systems (rHIS) and hospital information systems (HIS) need systematic information management. Due to their complexity information management needs a thorough description or model of the managed information system.
The three layer graph-based meta-model (3LGM(2)) and the 3LGM(2) tool provide means for effectively describing and modeling HIS by hospital functions, application systems and physical data processing components. The 3LGM(2) tool has been used to model parts of the information system of the health care system of the German federal state Saxony and of the Leipzig University Medical Centre.
Experiences showed, that 3LGM(2) is suitable for supporting information management even in rHIS. We explain some benefits for information management in regional as well as local settings.
Acceptance of the 3LGM(2) depends strictly on its integration in management structures on the institutional, regional, and even national or European level.
区域卫生信息系统(rHIS)和医院信息系统(HIS)都需要系统的信息管理。由于其复杂性,信息管理需要对被管理的信息系统进行全面描述或建模。
基于三层图的元模型(3LGM(2))和3LGM(2)工具为通过医院功能、应用系统和物理数据处理组件有效地描述HIS并对其进行建模提供了手段。3LGM(2)工具已被用于对德国萨克森州医疗保健系统以及莱比锡大学医学中心的部分信息系统进行建模。
经验表明,3LGM(2)即使在rHIS中也适用于支持信息管理。我们阐述了在区域和本地环境中信息管理的一些益处。
3LGM(2)的接受程度严格取决于其在机构、区域乃至国家或欧洲层面的管理结构中的整合情况。
