Business modeling tools aid in implementing decision support systems (DSS) for lab test ordering. Graphical tools like DECmodelTM help visualize process changes and assess impacts on healthcare quality and costs.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Decision Support Systems

Background:

  • Interactive decision support systems (DSS) offer potential to improve health outcomes by providing timely clinical guidelines.
  • Implementing DSS requires careful planning and change management for successful integration into clinical workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utility of business modeling tools in facilitating the implementation of interactive DSS for laboratory test ordering.
  • To assess the role of graphical business modeling in understanding the impact of DSS on healthcare processes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Situated, Strategic, and AI-Enhanced method for process change assessment.
  • Employed DECmodelTM, a graphical business modeling application, to represent current (paper-based) and future (expert system-supported) test ordering environments.

  • Modeled interactions between new processes and the impact of expert system-supported DSS on healthcare quality.

    • Main Results:

    • Graphical business modeling applications effectively represent key test ordering processes and the impact of DSS.
    • Models allowed users to interactively examine time and cost implications of transitioning to new systems.
    • The level of process detail in models was user-controllable, enhancing usability.

    Conclusions:

    • Graphical business modeling tools are valuable for institutions visualizing the impact of DSS implementation.
    • Collaborative workshops with key personnel are crucial for maximizing model accuracy.
    • These tools aid in aligning DSS technologies with institutional service needs, though cost and quality impact require further study.
