This paper provides a number of recommendations for expressing the behavioral semantics of a digital health enterprise. This includes the specification of policies, processes and services, with a particular focus on the RM-ODP enterprise and computational concerns. We believe that these behavioral aspects are needed to complement well developed expression of information semantics. The paper is motivated...
It has been ten years since the publication of our first paper reporting on the beginning of a new national e- health interoperability journey in Australia and the interoperability framework developed by National e-health Transition Authority (NEHTA) [1]. Many new technologies, standard efforts and architecture approaches have emerged since then. Many new lessons were also learned by different stakeholders...
This paper describes key modelling concepts for events, event patterns and related concepts needed to develop a distributed software framework for real-time business analytics. These concepts are specified by means of a minimal meta-model, whose implementation can enable better interoperability between different event processing systems. This in turn can support better, distributed, collaborative...
Responding to a wide range of interoperability requirements for eHealth, the HL7 standardization organization has recently published an initial version of the SOA Healthcare Ontology (SHO). The purpose of this effort is to serve as a shared reference conceptual model, which can guide the definition of service-related aspects of future eHealth standards and solutions. In this paper, we analyse the...
Healthcare organizations are increasingly using information technology to ensure patient safety, increase effectiveness and improve efficiency of healthcare delivery. While the use of health information technology (HIT) has realized many improvements, it has also introduced new failure modes arising from data quality and IT system usability issues. This paper presents an approach towards addressing...
It is a typical scenario that many organisations have their business processes specified independently of their business contracts. This is because of the lack of guidelines and tools that facilitate derivation of processes from contracts but also because of the traditional mindset of treating contracts separately from business processes. This paper provides a solution to one specific problem that...
This paper describes the use of the ISO ODP family of standards [1][2][3] to address interoperability issues in the Australian e-health environment. The Australian health system has a specific institutional structure and funding model involving a combination of federal, state, territory and local government jurisdictions along with the private sector. This arrangement requires a thorough understanding...
