Claim:
1. An integrated clinical information system comprising: a processor configured to implement: a single schema to be used to represent clinical data related to a patient, the single schema to provide a definition of an object in the system, the single schema defining both objects of domain and objects of design, the definition to include attribute and relationship information, wherein the single schema is to allow multiple applications forming the integrated clinical information system to process the object according to their respective data sets using a common interpretation according to the single schema, the single schema configured to represent both patient image and order information and to provide a database agnostic data model for application development, wherein the multiple applications include at least a first application associated with a first sub-system and a second application associated with a second sub-system, wherein the first application and the second application are constructed on top of the single schema, and wherein the first application and the second application communicate without a broker via the single schema; a database to store clinical data according to the single schema, the clinical data to be made available for access by the multiple applications; a middle tier configured to provide formatting and analysis for clinical data from the database according to the single schema across the multiple applications; wherein the middle tier creates a plurality of services using the objects of design to generate user interfaces, workflows and provide access to tools; and a user interface unifying the multiple applications according to the single schema and database, wherein the single schema facilitates generation of a digest of the clinical data to be processed via the middle tier and made available to the multiple applications.
