Abstract

This paper presents some general design patterns for databases in Healthcare Information Systems. The presented solutions were validated in a research project for early diagnosis and treatment of the patients with major risk of esophageal and gastric cancer. Our emphasis is on the generalization capacity of the database structure, which is able to serve other medical specializations, with no compromises for the integration of the entire system.
