This project is subsidized by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and co-financed with ERDF funds, within the Challenges-Collaboration call of the State Program for Research, Development and Innovation Oriented to the Challenges of Society, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016. (File RTC-2016-5824-1). The project has an approved eligible budget of €824,881.60.
In recent years, process management as a mechanism for increasing excellence and quality within organizations has become a globally accepted fact. Healthcare organizations are no exception, as process management is essential to ensuring adequate patient care and facilitating the work of healthcare professionals in a field where decision-making is paramount.
In this context, process management is closely linked to the term clinical guidelines, a document that supports healthcare professionals in decision-making under specific circumstances. However, because these guidelines are presented in narrative text format and there is little standardization among different healthcare centers, not to mention the limited interoperability between institutions, implementing these clinical guidelines on an IT platform that supports them throughout all phases of their lifecycle (modeling, implementation, monitoring, etc.) is complex.
Taking into account the context and the problem indicated, the project aims to define a working methodology based on the model-driven paradigm (MDE) with which to manage the life cycle of clinical guidelines and develop a centralized, comprehensive and collaborative platform that provides real and practical support.
Thanks to the platform, healthcare organizations will have the capacity and control over their clinical guidelines, covering the clinical processes, information sets, and clinical decision support rules necessary to improve healthcare professional performance. To demonstrate the project's practical viability, the methodology and platform will be validated in a real-world setting with patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
