Using Model-Driven Engineering and Health Standards for Improving Healthcare Processes Management

Abstract

Defining Healthcare Processes Support Systems (HPSS) in a clinical context is an essential and not always easy task. It is critical to provide mechanisms to assure that the HPSS implementation matches the clinical expert definition. In this paper, we propose the use of the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) to solve this topic. Within MDE, we have chosen to represent concepts with User Interfaces Design and Unified Modeling Languages (UML) profiles. Moreover, several standards were applied within HPSS definition: EN/ISO13606, ISO21090 and ISO/DIS3940.
