Software design patterns for message driven service oriented integration of stovepipe applications in healthcare enterprise

摘要

There is a need to create world-class medical infrastructure in India and to make it more accessible and affordable to a large cross section of our people. With this intent, this paper attempts to present software design patterns for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and its related technologies for integrating both intra and inter enterprise stovepipe applications in healthcare enterprise to avoid replication of business processes and data repositories. We aim to develop a common virtual environment for intra and inter enterprise wide applications. The ultimate goal is to present a systematic requirement driven approach for building an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solution using the Service Oriented Architecture and Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) principles. We aim to discuss the design concept of Enterprise Application Integration for integration of a healthcare organization and its business partners to communicate with each other in a heterogeneous network in a seamless way.
