DITAS: An Integrated Gateway to E-health Communications.

Today, the demand for health-oriented systems to facilitate and improve treatment processes is growing. For different information systems with different structures and technologies to be able to communicate with each other, a single gateway is required. The gateway acts as an interface between information systems and unifies protocols, rules, and standards related to communication processes. Health-related systems need a unique regulator that explains data models, coding, and data exchange structures. Moreover, the gateway has control over information systems and the data transmitted between them. In this paper, we explain an integrated gateway of health information exchange named DITAS which is a bridging point between health-related systems.
