Abstract

Taking as an example the special research programme ('Sonderforschungsbereich') in leukemia research and immunogenetics (SFB120) of the University of Tübingen, we intend to discuss how research subsystems should be built up, which functions they should take over and which network architecture is suitable. Furthermore, we examined to what extent research subsystems can be integrated in the computer-supported part of hospital information systems. It can easily be seen that no general solution exists for the structuring. The structure depends rather upon the specific problems and information requirements of individual research units. The clinical environment must be taken into account if research subsystems are to be integrated into the computer-supported part of a hospital information system. Especially in regard to the data protection aspect, we must keep in mind that the connection between subsystems must not necessarily result in the setup of a network for the corresponding computer systems.
