Summary
This study demonstrates how the Agile methodology, specifically the Scrum framework, enhances the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in healthcare. Scrum integration improves team collaboration and project oversight for better quality and implementation.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Software Engineering
Background:
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) offer societal benefits, particularly in healthcare.
- Developing effective technology solutions necessitates rigorous methodologies and systematic instructional design.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report on the application of Agile methodology in the development of ICT solutions.
- To detail the use of the Scrum framework for managing and controlling development outcomes.
Main Methods:
- An experience report method was employed.
- The Agile methodology, utilizing the Scrum framework, was adopted for project management.
- Scrum involved specific roles, artifacts, and ceremonies with a multidisciplinary team.
Main Results:
- The Scrum framework was implemented with defined roles, artifacts (e.g., product backlog, sprints), and ceremonies.
- A multidisciplinary team, including professionals and students, collaborated within the Scrum structure.
- Key artifacts like sprint backlogs and release burn-downs were utilized for progress tracking.
Conclusions:
- Adopting Scrum facilitates the integration of diverse roles and knowledge within ICT projects.
- The Scrum methodology enables efficient activity execution through meticulous analysis of quality, technology, and implementation stages.

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
