Abstract

Service-Oriented Architecture has been widely adopted in several domains in past years with the purpose of developing distributed applications. Within the health domain, integration of legacy systems by means of web services has been applied in order to develop complex applications. However, few approaches in this area treat complexity by delineating a software architecture to which applications must conform. In most cases in the literature, SOA applications in the health domain are documented using only one or two architecture views. This paper proposes a multiple view Service Oriented Architecture which is the basis for development of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) application. In order to develop the EHR, new requirements as well as current functionalities obtained from integrating legacy systems by means of web services were considered in a cohesive approach. Four architecture views, Scenarios, Business Process, Implementation and Logical View are presented. Each architecture view addresses one specific concern that organizes important concepts, facilitates understanding the system, and improves possibilities of communication between stakeholders. As a result, important software principles such as separation of concerns, component-based development and modularity are considered for development and integration of legacy systems in order to develop the EHR application to be deployed in a public hospital.
