Add ons for a Hospital Information System regarding the import functionality
Project duration: 1 year, 7 months
Brief description
In a Hospital Information System (HIS) different users do have different access rights to i.a. measurement devices. To import user information of a third party system, there must be an interface available, supporting predefined permissions as well as User Account Data in a specified CSV-Format. The Software itself has to communicate via SOAP-Services to the used HIS.
Supplement
Together with the operating department a concept is been evolved which covers the requirements of the software with the given means of the HIS. With the use of .NET 4.0 the concept will be realized. This includes as well an installer program giving the customer the option to install the tool as a stand alone application or a system service (daemon). After the fist Version had been released the certification system of the HIS, controlling the access rights, has changed completely. Therefor it was necessary to revise and update the software (2013).Through this change the certification process has been refined. The specification was extended to match the refined system as well as to still be able to use the old CSV-Data-Format. The development process included Unit- and System-Tests for all HIS Systems that should be supported.
Subject description
To use unique applications in heterogeneous environments (such like Hospitals, Laboratories, etc.), adapters have to be created which are able to transform the different formats. In this case with help of a configuration file, CSV-Data-Files will be analyzed and based on its definition transformed to interact with SOAP Services at the destination system. Furthermore, a logging concept as well as a feedback system has been integrated into the application.
