Abstract
The paper contributes to an important domain of interoperability suggesting an efficient and flexible approach for developers and users. It is presented the Generic Component Model. Also, it is presented four Generic Component Model instances. The Obstetrics-Gynecology Department is performed according to the GCM. The communication is ensured by two standards HL7 Clinical Document Architecture and Continuity of Care Document. The interoperability between systems will lead to improved patient healthcare, less medical errors and patient centered care.
