One of the main challenges of Healthcare services is to find a suitable way of managing limited resources within a highly demanding environment. This challenge can now be tackled by deploying reliable software systems that are supported by Software Engineering practices. In this paper, we present a Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach that, by way of an example, is applied to an Accident and Emergency (AE) department. This approach works by designing a UML class diagram annotated with a set of OCL constraints. These constraints formally express restrictions on interactions between various elements of the system. We formally evaluate our model by using a logic solver. This approach lays the foundation of our intentions to further develop a more complete health care system. We report the valuable lessons learnt from the work and explain the limitation we observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
