Summary/Abstract: Modernisation and competitiveness of healthcare systems depend on the interoperability between the systems involved, as well as on the high levels of security at an operational level for each information exchange. Healthcare systems need to offer the premises for a future of healthcare electronic services for citizens that will not stop at their national boundaries, and also need to offer all patients access to their medical records from any part of the European Union. The topics dealt with in this paper have maximum actuality for the studied domain. Considering the efforts to turn information technology into fact, my proposal is to design healthcare information systems by implementing Internet technologies, using an approach based on service- oriented architecture on a global market. Made on service- oriented architecture SOA, with Internet distributed resources, designed by using mediums of development that guarantee the efficiency of the teams of technicians, programmers, annalists, integrators as well as the simple, safe use at the level of healthcare professionals’ and patients’ expectations who do not need to know the implementation details, the interoperable, integrated, standardised and open healthcare systems will be able to offer both the final customers of medical services and healthcare professionals, quality and efficient medical services in real time.
