Functional Requirements for Medical Data Integration in Knowledge Management Environments: A Systematic Literature Analysis (Preprint) (original) (raw)

Abstract

BACKGROUND In patient care, data are historically generated and stored in heterogeneous databases that are domain specific and are often non-interoperable or isolated. As the amount of health data increases, the number of isolated data silos is also expected to grow, limiting the accessibility of collected data. Medical Informatics is developing ways to move from siloed data to a more harmonized arrangement in information architectures. This paradigm shift will allow future research to integrate medical data at many levels and from various sources. Currently comprehensive requirements engineering is working on data integration projects both in a patient care- and research-oriented context and they are significantly contributing to the success of such data integration projects. In addition to various stakeholder-based methods, document-based requirements elicitation is a valid method to improve the scope and quality of requirements. OBJECTIVE Our main objective is to provide a genera...
