RESUMO
In 2018 the University Hospital of Giessen (UHG) moved its hospital information system from an in-house solution to commercial software. The introduction of MEONA and Synedra-AIM allowed for the successful migration of clinical documents. The large pool of structured clinical data has been addressed in a second step and is now consolidated in a HAPI-FHIR server and mapped to LOINC and SNOMED for semantic interoperability in multicenter research projects, especially the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) and the Medical Informatics in Research and Care in University Medicine (MIRACUM) consortium.

Today, information processing in healthcare facilities is usually primarily directed towards the information needs of the respective institution. This stands in apparent contradiction to the fact that patients may not be solely treated in one general practice or hospital. More information processing towards patient-centered, shared care would better support high quality as well as efficient health care. We developed a stepwise approach transforming trans-institutional information system architectures (TISAs) from an inefficient state caused by redundancy and media cracks towards a state which better supports patient centered, shared care. In a total of three steps we want to establish electronic communication between existing information systems of different healthcare facilities for transmission of discharge summaries and diagnostic results. In further stages we plan to expand this communication solution to a regional comprehensive and consistent electronic patient record for multiple hospitals and general practices in Tyrol, Austria. In addition, two related approaches towards supporting shared care have been compared with our approach. The aim of this paper is to report on our approach and first experiences.
