In the developed country, it is necessary that the enterprise should arrange the occupational physical examination yearly, there are millions cases, results in heavy loading to the hospital. Because of the limited scale, the hospital usually needs outsourcing physical examination institutes. But the introduction of the outsourcing institute results in problems of examination information sharing. Although the information systems for hospital have been developed for decades, and now there are various successful systems. But the information system for outsourcing institute integration is not yet developed. This study is to develop the information architecture for outsourcing institute integration, which is basing on the relational medical information standards, includes DICOM, HL7 CDA, and IHE XDS. The proposed architecture would provide the information sharing in heterogeneous systems for different hospitals.
