Architecture and Management of Medical Laboratory within a Hospital Center (CheBHosp)

Mohamad Ali Cheaito

Abstract: This document represents the work on the architecture of a Laboratory of Medical Analysis Service within a Hospital center (LMASH). A LMASH service manages patient information either he is an external patient or an internal patient who has a stay at the hospital [1] We focus on all computing components available in the most medical laboratory, the analytical machines, and the employees of a LMASH who must communicate with a Medical Analysis Laboratory Information System (MALIS) [2]. Our work consists on the distribution of data, the data is not recorded in a single database, but in more than one [3] based on its use, to not have performance issues when executing all the queries by the corresponding DBMS [4, 5, 6]. On the other hand, all the equipment of a medical laboratory have a communication device, either it is a serial port or an Ethernet port, that is why there is an information flow from the analytical machine to a computer server allowing to manage all information and send it to the hospital's server to be linked to other medical services. The current work suggests architecture of distribution of equipment and represents a set of algorithms to communicate between machine and database installed on the server of LMASH and the hospital information system [7]
