The evolution of health systems requires adapted governance and an investigation of values. This necessitates a better use of digital technologies that are integrated into interoperable, coherent and evolving information systems that allow us to fight against the fragmentation of practices.
This work illustrates the conceptual approach of information systems which, by using adapted and perennial terminologies, must ensure semantic interoperability – a necessary condition for coupling data and knowledge established by research and used in business processes. This approach imposes a systematic, transversal vision that supports a complex reality where the interoperability of professional and software agents is central.
Current systems must evolve in order to improve the reliability of business processes as well as the reuse of resources that constitute data for the better coordination of professionals, the amelioration of continuing treatments, the evolution of practices and health research.
