A new index of hospital information processing requirements was developed to reduce management expenses. This comprehensive, technology-independent list aids HIS strategic planning and tender processes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Management
  • Healthcare Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Lack of standardized reference models for hospital information processing requirements leads to high management expenses.
  • Tender processes for hospital information systems (HIS) are particularly affected by this lack of standardization.
  • Existing HIS solutions often do not meet the diverse and specific needs of hospitals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive, lasting, and technology-independent index of hospital information processing requirements.
  • To reduce expenses associated with HIS management, particularly during procurement.
  • To provide a detailed framework for evaluating and planning hospital information systems.

Main Methods:

  • A consensus-based, top-down, and cyclic approach was employed by German experts.

  • Requirements were derived from the analysis of hospital information processing functions and sub-functions.
  • The development involved two dozen experts in the field of university hospital information systems.

    • Main Results:

    • The first official German version of a requirements index was created, featuring 233 functional and 102 function-independent requirements.
    • Functional requirements are structured around the patient care process, from admission to discharge.
    • The index is available online in both German and English, catering to a broader audience.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed index provides general, tool-independent information processing requirements for hospitals.
    • It is designed to support HIS management, strategic planning, evaluation, and tender processes.
    • While focused on German needs, the index is expected to be valuable internationally, with significant interest indicating its utility.
