2. Next steps
Expand the proof of concept of information sharing by integrating more
clinical applications and actors
Medication Record
Patient Summary
Expand the proof of concept of collaboration by applying web 2.0
collaboration functionalities (for example voice and video integration)
Experiment with extra services on top of the platform to make a proof
of concept of the further phases in e-Health
Decision support
Workflow
Get adoption from the medical community
Align with governmental e-health initiatives and integrate existing
initiatives
Establish a sustained platform

5. XDS as data and service bus
By means of the URI as a reference, which can not only
point to a location of a document but also to Web
Services, XDS is the ideal infrastructure to act as a
Clinical Data and Clinical Service bus, to be
distinguished from a more neutral service bus with Global
Services (identity mgmt., professional registry, …)
