Abstract

According to current definitions, health can not be merely intended as the absence of disease or infirmity. In this sense, for maintaining health, the coordination and collaboration among social and health systems is becoming essential, and it can happen only though the harmonization of existing and new integrated information systems. In this study, we will discuss the main requirements which are usually expected from applications for health and social care. For this purpose, the features of a number of commercial applications will be presented. Finally, we will confront these requirements and features with those obtainable trough available open source projects, when opportunely integrated.
