Study on Architecture-Oriented Clinical Care Model

With the prosperity of information technology, the hospital introduces the high-tech equipment and information systems to improve patient-centered clinical care capability and efficiency. Because of structural changes in the medical environment, the traditional modes of care have many impacts. This study combines the enterprise architecture (EA) theory with evidences and experiences of clinical care, including suggestions of supervisors and colleagues. Our purpose is to find out a description tool for patient-centered clinical care, and to improve communication and interaction among personnel, equipment, and system, leading to the development of architecture-oriented clinical care model (AOCCM).
This study uses structure-behavior coalescence architecture description language (SBC-ADL) to construct a multiple view integrated AOCCM. AOCCM is a patient-centered blueprint which includes architecture hierarchy diagram, framework diagram, component operation diagram, component connection diagram, structure-behavior coalescence diagram, and interaction flow diagram. Comparing with existing clinical care model from various kinds of views, all logical results demonstrate that AOCCM is superior to the existing model.
The methodology of architecture-oriented covers the organizational structure, caring behavior, and the relationship between patients and hospitals, to systematically show the face of clinical care. Accordingly, AOCCM helps a great deal care staffs achieve effective consensus in corporate communications and new staffs accomplish systematical learning in clinical studies.
