Summary Objectives: To analyze and to optimize interdisciplinary clinical processes, introduce an IT-supported model for demand-driven system evolution in healthcare, demonstrate the feasibility of approach a example present evaluation. Methods: System change management are viewed as two sides same coin, thus formal methods process analysis IT were embedded into goal-oriented model. Based on model, Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) computer simulation performed. A tool rapid application development (RAD) was used incrementally improve healthcare information according newly arising needs. Results: Each contributed successful reorganization process. An evaluation demonstrated significant improvements. integrated implemented support optimized Conclusions: Process improvement is feasible effective when requirements specification reasonable way. It might be necessary trade off costs benefits or simplify given method context particular project. As utilized different tools, it supposed that efforts analysis, documentation implementation adapted applications could reduced if tools based single coherent reference description processes.
