Policy framework for Healthcare responsibility Assignment

Abstract

Healthcare service mainly consists of a set of clinical workflows carried out by a group of actors who have multiple responsibilities. Current E-Health system engineering primarily focuses on HC service process requirements while less focus on realizing medical knowledge and higher level guidelines. Also, maintaining interoperability among heterogeneous systems is another major issue that makes less usability of e-Health systems. Thus, it is necessary to design a systematic approach to ensure multiple data sharing requirements of stakeholders. To identify and represent complex higher level rules and guidelines and to facilitate data sharing, this research contributes Healthcare Responsibility Assignment Matrix (HCRAM). The matrix represents the governing perspectives by indicating different roles of stakeholders on specific service processes in HC. Then the identified rules via HCRAM have been realized by indicating them in the process model. The proposed approach contributes the rule driven process model for healthcare system engineering.
