Challenges cited from health information collaboration in Information Technology projects
The design of IT systems for collaboration in data sharing is itself quite a challenge given that publishers and subscribers do not adhere to any standard. In the health information industry, such designs are considered even more difficult because they also have to satisfy the demands of sponsors and users.
In the law enforcement industry, legal requests and responses may even have a uniform standard across participating companies and law enforcement agencies. The goal here was in timeliness and the availability of data. Health information sharing standards have a slightly different area of emphasis. They have plenty of data when it comes to collections but privacy and boundary rules have many manifestations. Although they may not be subject to the same rules as personally identifiable information (PII), the health records have their own conformance requirements which have different interpretations and implementations.
The techniques for information sharing include:
1) Gateway between two heterogenous systems such as across companies
2) Message Bus between enterprise wide organizations with different areas of emphasis
3) Web-services within an organization for the sharing of data that is not exposed directly from data stores
4) And exposed data sources such as databases and their connectors
The techniques are important only for what can be applied in a given context. However, the time-held tradition had been to store the data in a database or archive in a data warehouse and connect those data stores via web services.
The pull and push between publishers and subscribers do not necessarily come with a protocol. Participating systems can choose whatever works for them
In the absence of any protocol or enforcement, information sharing falls largely on the level of collaboration between participants. Such collaboration is particularly relevant in coalescing health information across boundaries.
