Mobile-First Hospital Information Systems: Integrating Patient Portals with Enterprise HIMS Architectures
Abstract
Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) have traditionally been designed as institution-centric, web-based enterprise platforms primarily serving internal clinical and administrative workflows. However, the rapid digitization of healthcare and the increasing demand for real-time patient engagement have necessitated a structural transformation toward mobile-first architectures. In this paradigm, patient portals are no longer auxiliary web interfaces but become integral components of distributed clinical infrastructure. This study reconceptualizes hospital information systems through a mobile-first architectural lens and examines the integration challenges between patient-facing mobile portals and enterprise-grade HIMS environments. The paper proposes a layered integration framework that addresses domain abstraction, interoperability, identity harmonization, security enforcement, and reliability engineering across heterogeneous institutional systems. By positioning mobile patient portals as structured edge nodes within enterprise architectures, the study advances a principled software engineering model for scalable, secure, and resilient hospital information ecosystems. The architectural insights developed herein extend beyond healthcare and inform the broader design of regulated, mission-critical mobile systems.
