A formal requirements development process (RDP) is essential for large software projects, especially in healthcare. This approach mitigates risks and ensures business needs are met for successful system implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Effective requirements elicitation, understanding, and management are critical but challenging aspects of the software development life cycle.
  • Informal requirements development processes (RDP) can be risky for large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders and systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a formal RDP applied to the Patient Computing Project at Partners HealthCare System.
  • To highlight key business requirements identified through this formal RDP.
  • To advocate for the inclusion of RDP proficiencies within the field of informatics.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a formal requirements development process (RDP) to a large-scale web-based software project (Patient Computing Project).

  • Focus on understanding business needs and workflow details alongside technical design.
  • Documentation of the RDP approach and discovered business requirements.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful application of a formal RDP to a large project (over 500 function points) developing patient-physician electronic communication software.
    • Identification of critical business requirements crucial for the project's success.
    • Demonstration that a formal RDP is essential for managing complexity in healthcare software innovation.

    Conclusions:

    • A formal requirements development process is crucial for the success of large, complex software projects, particularly in healthcare settings.
    • Integrating RDP expertise into informatics education and practice is vital for advancing health IT.
    • Attention to business needs and workflow is as important as technical design for innovative health software.
