An architectural design framework for an Electronic Health Record system with hospice application

Abstract

The goal of the system framework (e-Hospice+) is to create an Electronic Health Record (EHR) System which can be used by medical clinic to provide special healthcare services to hospice care patients. The framework allows both web-based and mobile-based healthcare application frameworks to be created to satisfy a variety of needs of clinical personnel. The web-based applications are performed at the clinic as a main source of information and services to patients and service providers. The mobile-based applications are run on smartphones and used by clinicians during their visits the patients. The EHR data can be exchanged between application servers and smartphones using web services. The design framework focuses on the three key areas: data design, user interface, and data Security and privacy.
