Abstract:
In medical clinical practice, physicians need to acquire the image and text information of the patient. All the information will be of benefit for physicians to diagnose disease, improve clinical treatment, and do research work. But the information is distributed in different systems, such as medical image information in PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and text records in HIS (Hospital Information System). Today many hospitals are suffering from lack of an integrated system with PACS and HIS. This paper compares PACS with HIS and puts forward a distributed integration method of integrating the PACS and HIS with the prevailing WWW technology. In such a method, the image and the text information are regarded as the common object and the operation whereon as the object operation. Thus the method integrates the PACS with HIS effectively and implements the information resources sharing with the use of web technology.
