XML Web Services In Telemedicine – A Step Closer To Globalization Of Health Informatics (HI) [Link Removed from Download]

Abstract:

Each health care institution (hospitals, polyclinics and clinics) has their own standard of representing data and logics and algorithms on how they get the analysis and medical records prepared and done. To sum up, there exist no one standard to guide health care institutions on how to do such procedures probably due to a few reasons; namely on the financial and technical costs to standardize the whole process and an overall agreement to a standard. To overcome this drawback, a cost effective and technically adaptable technology has to be used. This paper is not on how to recreate a new system to fix the problem but rather on how to add another layer or module of technology to the existing design of a system that makes it geographically independent, device independent and accessible anywhere anytime at the lowest financial cost. It is not about creating a new standard but rather on make use of a standard to polish up the ‘rusty' part of a system. It is on the usage of XML web services in the field of telemedicine to expand its coverage and service at a financially cost effective and commercially viable state.
