Abstract: The development of technology and the internet has created a revolution in the healthcare domain, with regard to the implementation of electronic medical records using web-based applications, such as web services, to support interoperability between heterogeneous systems, and provide healthcare service. The need for web services has led to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), in order to protect patients' needs. On these grounds, this paper focuses on the implementation of electronic medical record systems using web services, SOA and Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS); it also refers to SOA and BPEL4WS, discussing the reason for their use, and then assumes a process-oriented, service-oriented and web-based approach to integrate secure healthcare information systems.
