Summary
This study introduces CENTRASYS for hospital pharmacies and ELIAS for primary care, both built with AIDA. AIDA significantly boosts development speed, enhancing system management and operation.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Software Engineering
Background:
- Hospital pharmacies and primary care facilities require efficient management systems.
- Traditional software development can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce CENTRASYS and ELIAS, software systems for hospital pharmacies and primary care, respectively.
- To analyze development strategies using prototyping and AIDA.
- To evaluate AIDA's impact on system management, development, and operation.
Main Methods:
- Prototyping methodology was employed for system development.
- A fourth-generation tool, AIDA, was utilized for development.
- Comparative analysis of development strategies was conducted.
Main Results:
- Development speed using AIDA increased significantly.
- Productivity exceeded 40 lines of code per day.
- This productivity is more than double the accepted reasonable rate.
Conclusions:
- AIDA enhances development speed and productivity in healthcare system creation.
- AIDA is effective for the management, development, and operation of healthcare IT systems.
- The use of AIDA streamlines the creation of specialized healthcare software like CENTRASYS and ELIAS.
