title: Overview of an architectural approach to the development of the Johns Hopkins Hospital distributed clinical information system.
abstract: The Johns Hopkins Hospital has initiated an ambitious program to apply modern technologies to the development of a new, comprehensive clinical information system. Since many components of a system exist and since the JHH management is decentralized, a distributed, networked system is being built. To properly accomplish this task an architectural basis for strategic systems planning was developed. This paper reviews briefly the layered architectural approach.
