This study details the Orbis/OpenMed health information system (HIS), highlighting its integrated CASE tool for rapid application development and adaptation. The findings emphasize the importance of iterative software engineering for evolving HIS.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Orbis/OpenMed is a widely adopted health information system (HIS) in German-speaking countries.
  • The study examines a 3-year deployment in a large university hospital.
  • Significant system improvements and software design were analyzed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of the Orbis/OpenMed HIS.
  • To share deployment experiences and lessons learned.
  • To evaluate the role of an integrated CASE tool in system evolution.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed analysis of system functionality and software design.
  • Focus on an integrated CASE tool for application generation and system evolution.
  • Presentation of a participatory and iterative software engineering process.

Main Results:

  • Orbis/OpenMed functionality is comparable to commercial systems.
  • An integrated generator tool facilitated workflow-enabled applications and database integration.
  • The system supports rapid prototyping and iterative refinement for user adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • Iterative and participatory software engineering tools are crucial for HIS architects.
  • System adaptability and continuous evolution are more vital than fixed functionality.
  • Further research is needed on HIS software design and engineering for rapid adaptation.
