Abstract: In this paper it is presented the prototype of a multifunctional Health Information System for the Comprehensive Management of a Sleep Clinics Franchise Chain. This prototype should facilitate the process by which it obtains, uses or displays a variety of basic resources to support the objectives of a Sleep Clinic, should facilitate the decision-making process, the control of the administrative and other day-to day workflow activities and the clinical management for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders and related diseases. The rationale of the project is the creation of a system to ensure the availability of highly skilled and well trained staff that takes care of patients attending a specialised centre of this kind. The system has three main sub-systems, these are: a system to manage all the administrative and (or) day-to-day workflow activities aspects of the clinic. The second, is a diagnostic and treatment (decision) support system and an electronic !
health record, it suggests the physician a diagnostic–therapeutic plan (following standard and updated guidelines) for each patient; this rule-based subsystem has been developed following the method for building Expert Systems (ES). The third subsystem supports an educational program and training tool for the staff to ensure that they will manage appropriately all the activities of a specialized centre for diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. The paper describes the ideas supporting the design, some comments about the system architecture, the methods that we follow to build it, some conclusions, and further research.
