Distributed Agent based Interoperable Virtual EMR System for Healthcare<br />

System Integration<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the major problems in health care system integration is the formidable cost <strong>of</strong><br />

mediating between myriad vendors <strong>and</strong> policy makers for updating existing heterogeneous<br />

systems to support a great variety <strong>of</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards or interfaces. To provide cost-effective<br />

healthcare system integration solution, this paper presents a Graphical User Interface state<br />

model (GUISM) for automatically exchanging information with existing healthcare s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

through their GUIs with no modifications needed to them. This can save the huge cost <strong>of</strong><br />

upgrading, testing <strong>and</strong> redeploying the existing systems. By using the GUISM model,<br />

distributed agents are deployed to the client computers interacting with the local electronic<br />

medical system (EMR) for communicating with other EMR systems. The whole system is<br />

called virtual EMR system <strong>and</strong> each client in this system can request needed patient<br />

healthcare information without knowing the actual location <strong>of</strong> the data.<br />
