Integration and sharing of systems
National informationinfrastructures infrastructures 1987: Exchange of lab reports (1 system: 3 weeks, 100% 1993) 1990: Standardization of messages 1992: KITH (responsible for standardization) di ti Pilots failures A few successes: Lab reports, discharge letters,.. ELIN projects Lighthouse projects.. Solutions rather than messages, lots of new messages required, also services eprescriptions (app. 500MNOK ).. another failure? National lhealth hnetwork thevery surprising extreme complexity The current situation High and rapidly growing number of applications, registers,.. High and rapidly growing complexity, heterogeneity.. A few working national services From sending to sharing (strong inertia) Where will we be in 5 10 years? Future legacy systems? Perceived problem: Lack of centralized power (standards: from ought to to have to ) Innovation??? New reform: Focus on collaboration, national ICT company Huge demand for new national information infrastructures A very common model Hos oss ligner situasjonen mer på dette EPJ/ PAS

More conclusions Rli Relying on the traditional model dl.. Following the textbook Project, controlled from thetop, closed world, moderate complexity Ex.: one single info model for the whole world covering all of health care, describing the objective world as it is A new model dlis needed: dd Understanding complexity Learning from the Internet Different architectures Complexity = number of types of components & links & speed of change Side effects effects orders dis orders Propagation of side effects Stabilizing, self reinforcing processes Destabilizing, self destructive processes Actor Network ktheory, Complexity Science, Si Reflexive Rfl Modernity Understanding The dynamics of complex systems How to avoid making them The Internetexperience experience Development/standardization strategy Tl Telecom: No innovations i for 100 years!! Internet: Range and speed of innovations Development/standardization strategy: Evolutionary, bottom up we believe in rough consensus and running code Architecture End 2 end (Lessig) + programmable terminals (Benkler) = generativity (Zittrain) Generativity Unprompted innovation by huge number of actors without coordination Capacity for leverage, adaptability, ease of mastery, accessibility Non appliance Organizing, governance Commons Based Peer Production (Benkler) Regulation a la Lessig ( code is law ) Market/organizing, social norms, techn./architecture, law Successes Bottom up Evolutionary Bootstrapping, extending, generification Small, simple, i.e. flexible standards d Focus on specific needs for the first users Generate network effects Failures Top down Specification driven Many actors (complex organization) Complex solution Complexity bootstraps!!

Generativity revisited Internet: Generativity = end 2 end MOA: end 2 end = non generativity!! SOA not end 2 end but generative Generativity matter! Generative Health Care Information Infrastructures: More research is desperately needed!
