Abstract
In the dynamic healthcare environment, laboratory diagnostics and pharmaceutical therapy are the medical events with the highest occurrence rate, for both in-Patients and out-Patients. The convergence of these disciplines in a unique info-knowledge infrastructure is the unique intervention point with the highest impact potential in the healthcare domain, particularly within the hospital environment in which the highest frequency of such events occurs. The DRIVE project aims at providing a fully integrated info-knowledge environment on top of an integrated product supply chain (based on the concepts and business models of the e-Commerce) infrastructure and a safe and secure data infrastructure (based on the concepts of trust and dependability) among stakeholders to drive the laboratory diagnostics and the pharmaceutical therapy (and further medical disciplines) convergence within the hospital environment.
