Abstract
With the new technologies available today, more complex and useful Hospital Information Systems (HIS) can be designed and implemented. These new technologies have allowed that information from different sources and nature such as documents, images and signals be integrated within a single environment. Open standards, reliable networks, powerful hardware and software and lower prices are among the issues that make all this possible. One of the main issues is what to do with old systems that do not adhere to this new HIS concept. At the Heart Institute (InCor), a decision was made towards starting developing a new system called I3S. This paper gives a brief description of that system.
