In Italy, the service of Pediatric oncology is very centralized and granted by high-specialized medical structures. In particular, in the Italian Regione Campania there are just few of such medical centers that, in case of room availability, take care of the child from the diagnosis until his/her complete healing, providing all necessary treatments along with a number of assistance services both for the patient and his parents. Regione Campania centers are often congested, causing a migration of more than 35% of the young patients towards extraterritorial centers. Also, these medical centers are often far away from the place where the patients leave, forcing them to have recurrently long traveling, sometimes just for a routine test. However, in the Regione Campania there are a lot of facilities and hospitals with high technology equipments and qualified staff that, by means of an appropriate network organization based on a computer network infrastructure, could help during the children's protocol treatment and thus significantly contribute to improve the local and national pediatric oncology service. This paper reports an evaluation research for the development, through an engineering approach based on a "hub and spoke" model, of a complete and efficient information system that allows the organization and sharing, at different levels, of clinical information among high-specialized medical centers and the other entities.
