Record it without words: designing a CPR (computer-based patient record)

Computers in Healthcare|September 5, 1992

View abstract on PubMed

Summary

Effective computer-based patient record systems require two-way communication between users and developers. Structured requirements analysis, aided by CASE tools, offers a viable solution for this crucial interaction.

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Software Engineering

Background:

Developing functional computer-based patient record (CPR) systems necessitates effective communication.
A gap often exists between user needs and system design in healthcare IT.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the importance of user-developer communication in CPR system development.
To propose a methodology for improving this communication.

Main Methods:

Discusses the challenges of achieving true user-developer communication.
Proposes structured requirements analysis.
Suggests the use of Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools.

Main Results:

Structured requirements analysis can facilitate clearer communication.
CASE tools can support the structured analysis process.
Improved communication leads to more functional CPR systems.

Conclusions:

Two-way communication is essential for functional CPR systems.
Structured requirements analysis with CASE tools is a recommended approach.
This methodology can bridge the user-developer gap in healthcare IT.
