Abstract EN
Healthcare industry is facing a major reform at all levels—locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Healthcare services and systems become very complex and comprise of a vast number of components (software systems, doctors, patients, etc.) that are characterized by shared, distributed and heterogeneous information sources with varieties of clinical and other settings.
The challenge now faced with decision making, and management of care is to operate effectively in order to meet the information needs of healthcare personnel.
Currently, researchers, developers, and systems engineers are working toward achieving better efficiency and quality of service in various sectors of healthcare, such as hospital management, patient care, and treatment.
This paper presents a novel information brokering architecture that supports privacy-based information gathering in healthcare.
Architecturally, the brokering is viewed as a layer of services where a brokering service is modeled as an agent with a specific architecture and interaction protocol that are appropriate to serve various requests.
Within the context of brokering, we model privacy in terms of the entities ability to hide or reveal information related to its identities, requests, and/or capabilities.
A prototype of the proposed architecture has been implemented to support information-gathering capabilities in healthcare environments using FIPA-complaint platform JADE.
