“…The importance of the cooperation between any system units lies in the importance of the system goals itself. In order to develop flexible and cooperative system, the fractal approach [9] has been used by many researchers in different areas [10]. The aims of this approach are to solve the lack of flexibility in systems to react to internal and/or external system requirements [11], and to achieve the cooperation between system units [12].…”

The cooperation becomes an important requirement in distributed Healthcare Information Systems (HISs). It is used to provide patients with a good and fast treatment. To achieve the cooperation feature, a fractal approach has been proposed by many researchers in different areas. Also, many approaches have been proposed in cooperative HISs to share patients’ information between different healthcare centres in order to provide a good treatment. However, most of these researches did not address the required improvement on physician skills and the possible enhancement on the healthcare services. This empirical study proposes a way to adjust fractal approach in HISs in order to improve the cooperation feature among physicians which may enhance both physician skills and healthcare services. The analysis of the collected data shows there are problems that associated with current system and therefore a set of requirements have been initiated. It has been found that there is a need to adapt the fractal features in current HIS environment.

“…The use of fractal approach in systems development has been applied in a number of different contexts [4]. Theoretically, fractal systems are self-organizing, cooperative, self-similar at different levels of scale systems that can adapt to changing systems goals and environment [5, 6 and 7].…”

Abstract. Ability to support various business models has been recognized as one of the essential competitive advantages of companies operating in global networked business environment. The use of several business models simultaneously, requires availability of flexible business process models. Flexibility of business process models, in turn, depends on appropriate information systems support. One of the ways how to support business process flexibility is to use a fractal paradigm in information systems development. The fractal paradigm can be applied at two levels of abstraction: the level of business process system and the level of software system. Applications of the fractal paradigm at two abstraction levels correspond to two different opportunities of supporting flexible business processes.

“…Information flows supported by the fractal systems facilitate knowledge exchange. Ryu and Jung (2003) and Kirikova (2008) discuss general aspects of development of Fractal Information Systems (FIS). This paper focuses on information structuring and management issues in FISs by means of elaboration of Information Architecture of Fractal Information Systems (IAFIS).…”

The fractal approach has emerged as a promising method for development of loosely coupled, distributed enterprise information systems. This paper investigates application of information architecture in development of fractal information systems. Principles of designing the information architecture of fractal information systems as well as rules for analyzing the information architecture are developed. These rules are used to obtain problem-domain representations specifically suited for needs of individual fractal entities. The usage of the information architecture in implementation of the fractal information system for the university's study programme development problem is demonstrated.
