A new software development guideline improves code quality in medical informatics research. This consensus-driven approach offers structure without complex methods, benefiting non-software engineers in research projects.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Software development in medical informatics research often lacks structured processes, leading to proof-of-concept code.
  • Researchers, particularly non-software engineers, require adaptable development guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a structured yet manageable software development guideline for medical informatics research.
  • To enhance source code quality and understandability in research projects.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted the evidence-based guideline development process from medicine.
  • Implemented a six-step consensus-building approach: problem identification, proposal, review, revision, consensus, and periodic review.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The guideline development process fostered team consensus on critical software development topics.
  • Significant improvements were observed in source code structure and understandability.
  • The guideline provided essential structure without the complexity of industry-standard methods.

Conclusions:

  • A consensus-panel-developed software guideline is effective for basic quality assurance in research settings.
  • This approach is particularly valuable for non-commercial medical informatics projects with non-expert developers.
  • It offers a practical solution for enhancing software quality in academic research environments.
