Quality Assurance Based Healthcare Information System Design
Despite decades of research, health information systems have been characterised by cost over-runs, poor specifications and lack of user uptake. We propose an alternative approach to their design. By viewing health care as a process and quality as continuously seeking iterative improvements to processes, an objectoriented analysis reveals a class model, which supports quality assurance (QA). At ...
متن کاملBuilding better healthcare facilities through evidence-based design: breaking new ground at Vancouver Island Health Authority.
Many of today's healthcare facilities were constructed at least 50 years ago, and a growing number have outlived their useful lives. Despite renovations and renewals, they often fall short of providing an appropriate care setting. Clinicians and staff develop a mixture of compromises and workarounds simply to make things function. Evidence-based design principles are often absent from new healt...
متن کاملEvidence Based Design and healthcare: an unconventional approach to hospital design.
Evidence Based Design (EBD) is a scientific analysis methodology that emphasises the use of data acquired in order to influence the design process in hospitals. It measures the physical and psychological effects of the built environment on its users. EBD uses formularization of hypothesis, testing/analyzing and outcome gathering as a framework. The design practice, in general, has always been b...
متن کاملAN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF FUSED BUILDING STRUCTURES
A dual structural fused system consists of replaceable ductile elements (fuses) that sustain major seismic damage and leave the primary structure (PS) virtually undamaged. The seismic performance of a fused structural system is determined by the combined behavior of the individual PS and fuse components. In order to design a feasible and economic structural fuse concept, we need a procedure to ...
