Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Hospital information systems (HISs) are the main access opportunity for medical professionals to computer-based patient administration. However, current HISs are primarily designed to function as office applications rather than as comprehensive management and supporting tools. Due to their inflexible architecture, integrating modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) models and medical robotics (MR) is hindered. Therefore, we have conceptualized an object-oriented HIS (oHIS) as a pragmatic digital twin (PDT) of the entire patient care in a hospital and developed a functional research framework software for further investigations to bridge the gap between reality and models via oHIS.
