Towards a Domain-Specific Method for Multi-Perspective Hospital Modelling – Motivation and Requirements

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 7939)

Abstract

The paper motivates the design and development of a domain-specific method for Multi-Perspective Hospital Modelling and presents requirements the method should fulfil. The contribution follows the design science research process and the identified requirements serve as basis for evaluating related work from the medical informatics and information systems discipline. As out of all evaluated approaches, the Multi-Perspective Enterprise Modelling method fulfils the requirements to the greatest extent, it is to be extended towards the proposed Multi-Perspective Hospital Modelling method.
