The current Turkish healthcare management system has a structure that is extremely inordinate, cumbersome and inflexible. Furthermore, this structure has no common point of view and thus has no interoperability and responds slowly to innovations. The purpose of this study is to show that using which methods can the Turkish healthcare management system provide a structure that could be more modern, more flexible and more quick to respond to innovations and changes taking advantage of the benefits given by a service-oriented architecture (SOA). In this paper, the Turkish healthcare management system is chosen to be examined since Turkey is considered as one of the Third World countries and the information architecture of the existing healthcare management system of Turkey has not yet been configured with SOA, which is a contemporary innovative approach and should provide the base architecture of the new solution. The innovation of this study is the symbiosis of two main integration approaches, SOA and Health Level 7 (HL7), for integrating divergent healthcare information systems. A model is developed which is based on SOA and enables obtaining a healthcare management system having the SSF standards (HSSP Service Specification Framework) developed by the framework of the HSSP (Healthcare Services Specification Project) under the leadership of HL7 and the Object Management Group.
当前的土耳其医疗保健管理系统结构极其繁琐、僵化。此外，这种结构没有共同的观点，因此没有互操作性，对创新的反应也很慢。本研究的目的是展示利用哪些方法可以使土耳其医疗保健管理系统提供一种更现代、更灵活、更能快速响应创新和变化的结构，利用面向服务的架构（SOA）所带来的好处。本文选择研究土耳其的医疗保健管理系统，因为土耳其被认为是第三世界国家之一，而且土耳其现有的医疗保健管理系统的信息架构尚未采用 SOA 进行配置，SOA 是一种当代创新方法，应该为新解决方案提供基础架构。本研究的创新之处在于将两种主要的集成方法（SOA 和 HL7）结合起来，用于集成不同的医疗保健信息系统。开发了一个基于 SOA 的模型，该模型能够获得具有 HL7 领导下的 HSSP（医疗服务规范项目）框架内开发的 SSF 标准（HSSP 服务规范框架）的医疗保健管理系统和对象管理组。
