The Design And Implementation Of The Master Patient Index Based Doctor Appointment System Using IBM MDM Web Services

To solve the problem of medical information island, it is important to build a global patient index system whose main job is to manage the master patient index. To deal with the platform dependant problems of the traditional Enterprise Application Integration that usually cost the customer a big expenditure, we can use the web services to encapsulate the business services. By using web services, not only can preserve the old heterogeneous hospital information system, it can also provide additional business value provided by the new developed services. You can access patient index system by Web Services to extend the legacy information system, which not only retains the original investment, but also realize the sharing of basic information of patients. Using patient index system whose main job is to manage the master data of patient, to ensure the consistency and integrity of patient information, thus solve the redundant duplication of basic information for patients which reside in various hospital information systems. The patient index system can be a supplementation before the Medical Enterprise Service Bus is built. The Master Patient Index based Hospital Reservation System is a medical information system whose job is not only managing the master patient data, but also realize the hospital reservation process. By using this system, the general practitioner in a community medical center can help a patient to appoint a day with a specialist physician in a hospital, after the patient visit, the specialist physician record the diagnosis in the system, the general practitioner in a community medical center then can query for the medical record for the treatment of patient. The system facilitate the patient, the patient can chose a nearby community medical center for basic treatment.This thesis embodies the analysis, design and implementation of the the Master Patient Index based Dcotor Appointment System. The realization of the system is based on IBM MDM Server Web Services, and Strutsl framework.
