  1. Life after PlugIT in Kuopio;Research projects in FINNWELL- program (TEKES)Anneli Ensio, Research DirectorUniversity of KuopioDepartment of Health Policy and Management, Shiftec30.8.2004

  2. Life after PlugIT in Kuopio? • Formal acceptance of PlugIT’s results by HL7 Finland and the National Health Project • Support to companies and healthcare organizations in making use of PlugIT’s results – integration implementation, requirements analysis and evaluation services available • Training and education in information systems and information management in social and health care • National Health Project’s subprojects – core data sets • Cluster of new research proposals to Tekes’ new FinnWell programme

  3. Behind PlugIT: ”welfare IT network”Focus on healthcare processes + software production

  4. Cluster of new research projects to support the “year 2007 target”

  5. SerAPI: SERvice-based architecture and web services in healthcare Application Production and IntegrationContact: Juha Mykkänen, HIS R & D Unit, University of Kuopio • Background • differences and changes in healthcare applications, processes, health systems, local requirements - require adaptability in systems •  Service-oriented architecture (SOA) • heterogeneity of application technologies, integration needs •  Web services • Objectives • Choose information system and integration needs which can be solved using application services and interfaces • reduce overlapping work and information, simplify maintenance, effective and repeatable integration • Offer service interfaces in new generation software products and integration solutions • Choose/develop an architecture, development model and methods and tools to design and implement healthcare software in service architecture • Continue application interface and integration work of the PlugIT project, participate in HL7 Finland and HL7 International Common Services

  6. SerAPI viewpoints: how to produce, provide, consume and manage services to.. • Effectively support changing processes and workflows of healthcare organizations.. • with adaptive, reusable and efficiently developed application products and integration solutions… • based on open and coherent services, architecture and infrastructure. • 8-11 companies, 2-3 hospital districts, duration 2004-2007 • Contact: juha.mykkanen@uku.fi, HIS R & D Unit, University of Kuopio

  7. AVOINTA - Open integration testing environment Goals of Open Testing Environment • Creation of common methods and ways of action to test system integration, interfaces and their conformance with open specification.Agreement on contracts, work flows etc. • Planning and Specification of Testing Environment for regional health care systems • Testing Services: - web-based testing service (using both CDA R1 and CDA R2) - testing service for context management and common services (PlugIT and HL7 specifications) - safeguard testing service (PKI architecture) • A common test data library with standard testing material (patient journals)

  8. AVOINTA - Open integration testing environment • Motivation: • pressure for the interoperability of systems(CDAr1, CDAr2, PlugIT, PKI) • conformance of an implemented interface needs to be tested against the specification • testing environment for interfaces and integration needs (regional information systems, individual applications) • research and development of integration profiles

  9. AVOINTA - Open integration testing environment Institution in charge:VTT information Technology Project partners: • University of Kuopio; HIS R&D Unit, Software Engineering, Shiftec • Prime solutions Ltd. • 8 software companies, 3 hospital districts Project duration: Sept. 2004 – Dec. 2005 Contact persons: • Vesa.Pakarinen@vtt.fi • Anne.Eerola@uku.fi • Hannu.Virkanen@uku.fi

  10. Export HIS:How to export Finnish healthcare software • Finland has a long tradition of using information systems in healthcare, but few companies are exporting their products • How can existing know-how, companies and software products from Finland be pooled together for exports? • Phase 1: Concept development in Shanghai • Technology Park Teknia and the City of Kuopio have well established relations in Shanghai in healthcare technology • → Study recent developments in Chinese healthcare system and analyse Hospital Information Systems needs in Shanghai • → Evaluate the applicability of Finnish healthcare systems know-how and software to the Chinese market and establish contacts with local authorities and companies • → Produce a plan for an actual exports project, if feasible • Already started by a visit to Beijing and Shanghai in August

  11. Export HIS:How to export Finnish healthcare softwarePhase 1: Concept development in Shanghai • Project information: • Phase 1 duration: June 2004 – September 2005 • Proposed size: 4.5 person years • May be funded by European Regional Development Fund (EAKR) → no industry funding required, but more local industry in Board • Institution in charge: University of Kuopio, HIS R&D Unit • Contact persons: • Mikko Korpela, Research Director, Mikko.Korpela@uku.fi • Matti Sipilä, Project Manager, Matti.Sipila@uku.fi • Project partners, represented in the Project Board: • 3 software companies now, doors open for others • University of Kuopio, Dept. of Health Policy and Management • Helsinki University of Technology, SoberIT • Technology Park Teknia

  12. ZipIT, Zip-model for developing thework and information systems in parallel In co-operation with the projects of • The Finnish Work Environment Fund Anja.Mursu@uku.fi • Savonia Polytechnic (Savonia Business) Maritta.Korhonen@savonia-amk.fi

  13. Health care organization Work and IS development in parallel services and processes • 1. IT needs • activity networks • information system business Software Company The tool of communication 2. Information management Information system development needs - processes, information architecture Activity networks development -Workflows, task descriptions 3. Requirement specification -Use case descriptions introductions changes in the activities software Health care organization
