Abstract

Health and medical care are safety-critical environments. The development of a safe and reliable healthcare software system is one of the most important processes which may affect the accuracy of clinical decision making and have an impact on determining diagnoses of and treatment for diseases. The aim of this study is to assess if software quality models, such as McCall, can have an impact on healthcare software quality for the purpose of reducing software failures. We have identified the main criticalities of healthcare software systems based on existing literature, software quality models and programming language standards; we have related these criticalities to software characteristics; we have analysed the relationship between the main criticalities of healthcare software systems and their software characteristics. The following criticalities - the risk of changing hard-coded software and the importance of developing maintainable software - must be addressed at the start of the software development process.

评估软件质量模型对医疗保健软件系统的影响。

卫生和医疗保健是安全至关重要的环境。开发安全可靠的医疗软件系统是最重要的过程之一，它可能会影响临床决策的准确性，并对疾病诊断和治疗产生影响。本研究旨在评估 McCall 等软件质量模型能否对医疗软件质量产生影响，从而减少软件故障。我们根据现有文献、软件质量模型和编程语言标准确定了医疗保健软件系统的主要关键性；我们将这些关键性与软件特性联系起来；我们分析了医疗保健软件系统的主要关键性与其软件特性之间的关系。以下关键点--更改硬编码软件的风险和开发可维护软件的重要性--必须在软件开发过程的一开始就加以解决。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
