Abstract
The German health care system increasingly encounters an enormous cost pressure. Preventive medicine opens the possibility to avoid cost for the treatment of chronically sick persons and, especially, for the highly expensive hospitalization. Since with screenings, a special discipline of preventive medicine, a large number of persons are to be examined, information technology plays an important role to reduce cost and to increase treatment quality. We introduce a generic process based platform for distributed screenings for the early detection and diagnosis of the glaucoma disease. Thereby, glaucoma is merely one disease pattern which can be covered with the generic process based platform. Methods and concepts for the enactment of different screening processes and the integration of various modalities are in the center of our interest.
