Computer scientists working in medical informatics have to face the problem that software offered by industry is more and more adopted for clinical use by medical professionals. A new challenge arises of how to combine commercial solutions with typical medical software that already exists for some years and proved to be reliable with these off-the-shelf solutions [1]. With the HERMES project, this new challenge was accepted and possible solutions to integrate existing legacy systems with state-of-the-art commercial solutions have been investigated. After a period of prototyping to assess possible alternative solutions, a system based on an indirect client-server model was implemented with help of the industry. In this paper, its architecture is described together with the most important features currently covered. Based on the HERMES architecture, both systems for clinical data analysis and patient care (cardiology) are currently developed.
行业提供的软件越来越多地被医学专业人员用于临床。一个新的挑战出现了，即如何将商业解决方案与已经存在数年且被证明可靠的典型医疗软件与这些现成的解决方案相结合[1]。通过HERMES项目，接受了这一新挑战，并研究了将现有遗留系统与最先进的商业解决方案集成的可能方案。经过一段时间的原型设计以评估可能的替代方案后，在行业的帮助下实现了一个基于间接客户机-服务器模型的系统。本文描述了其架构以及目前涵盖的最重要功能。基于HERMES架构，目前正在开发用于临床数据分析和患者护理（心脏病学）的两个系统。
