Integrated care programme for older in-and out-patients at the University Hospital of Getafe

摘要

The main goal of this Thesis is the analysis and design of a HIS for the improvement of the Integrated Care Program at HUG. Thus, the rationale of this Thesis is not the development of any industrial product but the validation of a concept. Concretely, this Thesis comprises the following objectives:1. To carry out a comprehensive analysis of the environment at the Geriatrics Service.2. To interact directly with users and engage them in the development of the HIS model.3. To develop scenarios describing how the system would solve the problems in the Geriatrics Service.4. To design the HIS, including data and user interaction models.5. To develop Me-Fi prototypes6. To validate my systems in terms of usability and user experience. In order to fulfil all these goals I devised a strategy following scenario-based design method. The process was divided in 3 phases that were carried out from January to May 2015. They were time bounded and overlapped at some points of the process.
