Abstract

Decentralized information systems developed in the last years and supporting the operation of hospitals, have certain specific features. In this paper we propose a selection of the most suitable, in our opinion, techniques of data distribution and optimization of queries, considering the specifics of decentralized systems in health care environments. Throughout the whole paper the methodology of distributed relational databases has been applied uniformly.
