Abstract(s)
A integração de sistemas é um tema sempre actual na temática das tecnologias
de informação. Desde há muito tempo que as grandes empresas identificaram
a necessidade de integrar dados de diferentes sistemas, criando mais valor para
os seus negócios.
Alguns sectores da indústria estão claramente mais avançados do que outros
no que diz respeito à integração de sistemas. Alguns factores, como a concorrência
e competitividade mais agressiva em alguns mercados, foram os catalisadores
desses avanços tecnológicos. A indústria da saúde não foi, infelizmente, um dos
sectores onde se registaram grandes avanços na integração de sistemas. Foi, no
entanto, onde se registou uma explosão de normas e protocolos que suportam
as diversas disciplinas da medicina, como por ex, a Radiologia. Essas normas
e protocolos permitiram dotar a medicina de meios mais rigorosos de produzir
diagnósticos e encontrar curas para as mais diversas patologias.
Existem muitos produtos que adoptam estas normas. As organizações foram,
progressivamente, adquirindo esses produtos mas sem grande preocupação
da eventual necessidade da integração. A disciplina da Radiologia é uma das
disciplinas onde se verifica, ainda hoje, uma enorme diversidade de equipamentos
e sistemas de informação mas onde se encontra desafios consideráveis no que
diz respeito à integração. Foram esses desafios que despoletaram o interesse de
investigação e cujos resultados se partilham nesta dissertação.
ABSTRACT: Systems integration it’s always a current topic in information technology. Since a long time the biggest companies identified the need to integrate data from different systems and create value for their businesses. Some industries are clearly more advanced when it comes to systems integration. Fierce competition and the need to keep a competitive edge boosted the development of this technology. The healthcare industry was not, unfortunately, one of the industries with relevant developments. While this may be true, it is the industry richest in standards and protocols supporting multiple areas like Radiology, for example. All of those standards and protocols have contributed to more accurate and strict diagnosis in healthcare, ultimately leading to the cure of all kinds of pathologies. There are many products that implement these standards. Organizations progressively acquired some of those products without relevant consideration on any integration requirements. Radiology is exactly one of those healthcare disciplines where it’s easy to find a multitude of instruments and information systems, all of them with considerate challenges when it comes to integration. Those challenges triggered this research, whose findings are presented in this thesis.
