title: Integration of a European image processing component with an American HIS: the advantage of open standards.
abstract: This paper describes the integration of a European Image Processing System with an existing American Hospital Information System. Both systems were built independently (with no knowledge of each other), but on open systems standards. The easy integration of these systems demonstrates the major benefit of open standards-based software design.
