title: Modeling a health telematics network: does the 3LGM2 approach assist in its management and operation ?
abstract: Health Telematics Networks (HTN) are characterized by a complex setup and interrelations. Using available tools and methods focusing on mainly one aspect, e.g. its functionality or the network infrastructure leads to a restricted view. The objective of this paper is to assess the applicability of the Revised Three-layer Graph-based Meta Model (3LGM(2))--developed for modeling hospital information systems--towards health telematics networks. Having identified an approach on how to represent the hospitals effectively in the model the 3LGM(2) proved to support strategic management, day-to-day maintenance and documentation.
