Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems Engineering
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Health care and hospital information systems require user-centric development focusing on activity tracking and quality improvement.
  • Process-oriented analysis aids in systematic activity description, data elicitation, and decision support selection for healthcare systems.
  • Traditional paper-based tools are inadequate for managing and sharing documentation generated during process analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a method for implementing process analysis results using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) techniques.
  • To overcome the limitations of paper-based documentation in managing healthcare information system development.
  • To leverage the IDEF0 activity modeling language for structured process representation.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilized the IDEF0 (Integration DEfinition for Function modeling) activity modeling language.
  • Developed a method to represent hierarchical process descriptions and components.
  • Implemented the process analysis results using a flat XML file with custom metadata tags.

Main Results:

  • A structured, hierarchical description of healthcare processes and their components was defined.
  • A grammar of metadata tags was created for the XML file, enabling systematic data organization.
  • The proposed method facilitates efficient management and sharing of process analysis documentation.

Conclusions:

  • The XML-based method offers a viable solution for implementing process analysis in health care information systems.
  • This approach enhances the systematic description and management of care activities and system requirements.
  • Further discussion on the perspectives and applications of this method is warranted.
