Requirements Index for Information Processing in Hospitals

摘要

Reference models describing typical information processing requirements in hospitals do not exist to date. This causes high expenses in the management of hospital information systems as well as in tender processes for obtaining software application programs. Therefore, it would be helpful to have a description of the most important requirements for information processing in hospitals. We established such an index of requirements for information processing in university hospitals with the aim to support the systematic management of hospital information systems. It contains functional and function-independent requirements, ordered according to the typical primary care process and additional supporting information processing functions of a hospital. In this paper, we will present some,background as well as the structure and content of the first German version of the requirements index for information processing in hospitals.
