Components of the Healthcare Ecosystem

• Provider organizations and physicians
  delivering healthcare
• Pharmaceutical and medical device companies
  creating drugs and medical devices
• Government and private-sector employers paying
  for most healthcare
• Health insurers managing financial and
  administrative transactions

The challenges

• The problem with the current healthcare ecosystem
  is Integration.
• Open standards such as XML, SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and
  healthcare-specific standards such as HIPAA, HL7
  are key to handle integration problem.
• The administration costs in US is about 90
  billion per year, which may be reduced to 5
  billion according to Microsoft.

5
Integration

• Presentation Tier Using portals and applications
  which can work on mobile devices such as Tablet
  PC as well as desktop computers.
• Middle Tier Enterprise Application Integration.
• Data Layer Communication with legacy systems as
  well as DBMSs.
