Healthcare delivery is undergoing significant transformation in the United States. Many hospitals and clinics are utilizing electronic means for maintaining patient records. Implementation of electronic health records is now a prevalent activity at many healthcare organizations. Despite the use of electronic health records by many healthcare organizations, it is still difficult to obtain meaningful information from electronic data pertaining to healthcare. Intelligent content applications organize the data within a company make all the data in the organization searchable and retrievable for faster access. This paper therefore explores SOA (Service oriented architecture) and intelligent content architecture in an attempt to suggest better structures that enable retrieval of related data from myriad sources within a company. While intelligent content applications are being slowly developed for areas such as electronic publishing, its use in healthcare organizations has been limited. This paper discusses applications of intelligent content architecture for the healthcare domain.
