Value Oriented Designing of Healthcare Service Systems

Abstract

Early identification, complete and correct designing of services are fundamental for any successful e-Business solution in present-day. However, multiparty collaborative environment offering very many diverse services in healthcare context has resulted not only difficulties in requirement elicitation but also multitude of burdens during e-Health service designing and development. Yet another facet that hinders achievement of successful e-Health service deployments is the unavailability of framework that could facilitate systematic alignment between higher level strategic and motivational requirements with lower technical level realizations. This research work is an initiative contributing to get established a framework that could facilitate successful e-Health service deployment while overcoming afore mentioned deficiencies, ensuring semantic and technical service interoperability. A value object classification schema and associated Information Referencing Models has been introduce in this paper that can be serves as theoretical basis for healthcare e-Service Solution industry. The advantage of the proposed modeling guidance is traceability between higher level motivational requirements and subsequent lower level value & service modeling layers. Draft modeling of an application area based on the proposal has been briefly demonstrated in order to illustrate the potential applicability of the proposed framework.
