Abstract
Hospital and homecare must be understood as a necessary conjunction to accomplish efficient personalized care. In this sense, the integration of hospital and homecare protocols and technologies should be considered from the moment that they begin to be designed. The proliferation of healthcare units and services complicates this task, as multiple administrative domains can be found, usually spread out in multiple technology domains, difficult to integrate. This hard integration requires a well defined middleware where heterogeneous and autonomous components must be included. The design of this middleware observing well accepted international standards is a cornerstone for the successful deployment. This chapter makes a review of the concept of personalized medicine, the main research trends in hospital and homecare and it finally proposes some approaches to design architectures providing healthcare scenarios and knowledge integration.
