Software Product Line for Health Information Systems
Keywords:
Health information systems, Model-driven engineering, Software product lineAbstract
In this document, we present in a recapitulative way the R&D activities of the authors in the area of health information systems (HISes) in the context of their participation in the National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC). Materials and methods: Based on the first experience of the group in the ad hoc development of a HIS for the remote support to the emergency healthcare of victims with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we describe the conception of a new on-going research direction concerning a software product line for HIS. Results: We present in detail the software product line for healthcare (SPLiCE), including its modules for the model transversalization, modeling of clinical data, architectural modeling, and code generation. Conclusion: Given the promising perspectives of model-driven engineering (MDE) for HISes, we are currently eliciting the main commonalities and differences among HISes of two key families: prehospital emergency and epidemiological surveillance, upon which we intend to firstly validate SPLiCE in our future work.
