Abstract:
In the field of medical informatics, there is a steady trend towards the
formation of a complex multicomponent ecosystem. The problems of interaction and
integration of ecosystem components come to the forefront: medical, laboratory, radiological
systems, EGISZ, EMIAS, MDLP, various registers and services, including those implementing
AI approaches to data processing and problem solving. Patients are in dire need of personal
offices that integrate their medical data, patients become active participants in the ecosystem.
Integration tasks have to be solved in a highly heterogeneous information environment, when
it becomes unattainable to ensure synchronous interactive interaction between ecosystem
participants. For individual applications, a flexible combination of both synchronous and
asynchronous interaction is required, selected situationally based on specific time delays and
interaction characteristics.
The article proposes a special architecture that allows for synchronous and asynchronous
interaction between ecosystem participants. Adapting software designed only for synchronous
interaction to an asynchronous architecture does not require a radical redesign of the software.
The approach was worked out using the example of adapting the MDLP MIS Interin module
to work in the internal secure network of the multidisciplinary medical center of the Bank
of Russia. The proposed architecture can be used by software developers in other fields
of activity, where there is an active development of ecosystems, accompanied by an increase
in integration interactions.
Key words and phrases:medical informatics, medical information systems, digital ecosystem, integration, asynchronous interaction, patient’s personal office.
