Service oriented architecture for the integration of clinical and physiological data for real-time event stream processing

摘要

This paper proposes a framework for the integration of physiological and clinical health data within a Service-Oriented architecture framework. This integration will subsequently be used in real-time event stream processing in intelligent patient monitoring devices. Service-oriented architecture offers a unique method of integrating health data as information is collected from multiple medical devices that lack any substantial means of standardization. Employing various services to facilitate the transmission and integration of these data will result in significant improvement in both efficacy and analytical velocity of intelligent patient monitoring systems. We demonstrate this approach within the Neonatal Intensive Care setting.
