Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science Applications in Healthcare
  • Systems Engineering

Background:

  • 'Care in the Community' is a growing trend in healthcare.
  • Information technology has not adequately supported this trend.
  • A key issue is the mismatch between clinical needs and current system specifications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess process modeling and simulation as methods for capturing and communicating requirements.
  • To bridge the divide between healthcare users and information system developers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized process modeling techniques.
  • Employed simulation methods.
  • Focused on requirement elicitation and communication.
