Explore the impact of architectural governance on inter-organizational systems in health care evolution, focusing on information flow, ICT architecture, and regulatory modalities. Case studies and critical questions shed light on architecture's role in governing and evolving these systems.

Governing Through Architecture Ole Hanseth Department of Informatics University of Oslo, Norway
Inter-organizational Systems/Information Infrastructures • Logistics chains • Banking and finance • …… • Health care • Between hospitals, GPs, labs, pharmacies, .. • Orders and reports, prescriptions, admission and discharge letters, .. • Telemedicine • Internet of Things/Wellfare technologies
Regulatory modalities (Lessig)“Governance modalities” • Law • Social norms • Market (prices), organizing • Architecture/technology
Critical question • What kind of architectures supports II (IOS) governance? • Governing IIs = II evolution = governing • Bootstrapping • Scaling • Adoption • Innovation • Restructuring
Architecture - governance • Mirroring • Product – producer • Product – users • Implications: “conway’s law,” big companies => NOT( disruptive or architectural innovations) • Architectural control points • Platform/apps • Internet: End-2-end (+ open source licenses , flat network, ..)

ePrescription • Several failed initiatives during the 90-ies • Started 2004 – after report from the Office of the Auditor General => solid funding • Profdoc joined – new EPR • Pilot 2008 – disaster • New pilot 2010 – successful • Crisis => Generic module for old Profdoc systems
….. continued … • GM deployment, “rollout” from 2012 • GM + DIPS 2012 in Bergen – rollout • DIPS and Profdoc integrated module • Siemens and other adopt GM • 2014 - : • Adding multi-dose dispencing • Messages v2.5
A few other projects • Fürst • Lab report transfer solution, 1987, 3 man weeks + 1 evening • Lab ordering solution • Edimed, Northern Norwegian Health Network • Well/Dips Interactor • Interactive admission letters • BlueFox, Prescription register • MyJournal

Summary Care Record Systems • Scotland: • 3 MGBP (4M Euros, 4 M USD) • Denmark: • Official, top-down • 10 M Euros, • Faded out after about 4 years, officially cancelled after 8 • Unofficial, bottom-up • Great success • Norway (ePrescription) • 500 MNOK, currently piloted in one GP office • UK • Started 2004, early adoption 2007, further deployment is frozen • Spent 240 MGBP
Conclusion • Org – arch mirroring! • Different architectures for different evolutionary processes • CSCA: bootstrapping, innovation, restructuring • ACA: scaling and adoption
