A software architecture to support a large-scale, multi-tier clinical information system.

A robust software architecture is necessary to support a large-scale multi-tier clinical information system. This paper describes our mechanism for enterprise distribution of applications and support files, the consolidation of data-access functions and system utilities stored on the data access tier, and an application framework which implements a coherent clinical computing environment. The software architecture and systems described in this paper have been robust through pilot testing of our applications at Massachusetts General Hospital.

A graphical user interaction model for integrating complex clinical applications: a pilot study.

We have developed and implemented a multi-faceted, graphical user interaction model for an advanced clinical information system. This paper describes a classification scheme for applications used by clinicians in their daily work, discusses the way clinicians interact with these applications, and the issues that arise during these user interactions. Through its emphasis on support for application interoperation, the graphical user interface that implements the model presents a single, consistent, context to the user, and thereby helps maintain patient safety and ensure ease of use.

Preserving context in a multi-tasking clinical environment: a pilot implementation.

The Partners Clinical Application Suite (CAS) is a multi-tasking software architecture that facilitates the development, deployment, and use of advanced clinical information management applications. This paper describes 1) a software shell in which clinical applications run; 2) an application programming interface (API); and 3) development of a set of "Look & Feel" guidelines. Through its emphasis on support for multi-tasking and application interoperability, CAS facilitates preservation of the user's context.
