Los objetivos de UML (Unified Modeling Language – Lenguaje Unificado de Modelado) y de la EPC (Event-driven Process Chain - Cadena de Procesos guiada por Eventos), están bien diferenciados: mientras que UML se enfoca al diseño de sistemas de información (SI), las EPCs se emplean para el modelado de procesos de negocios (BPM) dentro de la...

Esta comunicación se deriva de las experiencias obtenidas mediante la participación de los autores en un proyecto de rediseño y reingeniería de procesos de un conjunto de servicios de salud implantados en distintos hospitales nacionales. Una de las primeras fases del proyecto consistió en el modelado del conjunto de procesos actuales (modelos...

HL7 (Health Level 7) International is an organization that defines health information standards. Most HL7 domain information models have been designed according to a proprietary graphic language whose domain models are based on the HL7 metamodel. Many researchers have considered using HL7 in the MDE (Model-Driven Engineering) context. A...

En este trabajo se presenta la aplicación del modelado de procesos de negocio en un proyecto de interoperabilidad entre SIs de información en un hospital, teniendo en cuenta la integración del modelado de procesos con el diseño de Sistemas de información, y la capacidad de los modelos para aportar información en el desarrollo de los...

HL7 is an international organization that defines standards on health information systems. Most HL7 domain information models are designed according to an own graphic language. All this domain models are based in a unique metamodel. In the last years, many researchers have considered the possibility of using HL7 in the Model Driven Engineering...

In this paper, two algorithms for the segmentation of tumors in soft tissues are presented and compared. These algorithms are applied to the segmentatiion of retroperitoneal tumors. Method: The algorithms are based on a continuous convex relaxation methodology with the introduction of an accumulated ...

Background and goal: Health information systems are increasingly sophisticated and developing them is a challenge for software developers. Software engineers usually make use of UML as a standard model language that allows defining health information system entities and their relations. However, working with health system requires learning HL7...

Las instituciones de gestión sanitaria deben proporcionar una medicina de alta calidad con costes controlados 1. Una parte de nuestro trabajo como miembros de la Red Temática de Investigación Cooperativa "Nuevos modelos de prestación de servicios sanitarios utilizando telemedicina" se ha centrado en la aplicación del modelado y simulación de...

Para cumplir el objetivo genérico del proyecto 1 "proporcionar un conjunto de herramientas (modelos, guías, módulos HW/ SW y metodologías) para la realización de nuevos servicios de salud basados en telemedicina; que faciliten el diseño, implantación y evaluación de dichos servicios", nuestro grupo de trabajo, formado por los Hospitales...

In this paper, we present our experience in a Business Process Management (BPM) project for public hospitals. This project is supported by a research network whose overall goal is to develop new health services based on telemedicine. In order to do so, different decisionsupport and planning methodologies and tools are supported in order to...

Background: Owing to the nature of health data, their sharing and reuse for research are limited by legal, technical, and ethical implications. In this sense, to address that challenge and facilitate and promote the discovery of scientific knowledge, the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles help organizations to...

Health information systems are increasingly complex, and their development is presented as a challenge for software development companies offering quality, maintainable and interoperable products. HL7 (Health level 7) International, an international non-profit organization, defines and maintains standards related to health information...

Background: Smoking is considered the main cause of preventable illness and early deaths worldwide. The treatment usually prescribed to people who wish to quit smoking is a multidisciplinary intervention, combining both psychological advice and pharmacological therapy, since the application of both strategies significantly increases the chance...

Background: Smoking cessation is a persistent leading public health challenge. Mobile health (mHealth) solutions are emerging to improve smoking cessation treatments. Previous approaches have proposed supporting cessation with tailored motivational messages. Some managed to provide short-term improvements in smoking cessation. Yet, these...

Background: The evidence-based medicine (EBM) paradigm requires the development of health care professionals' skills in the efficient search of evidence in the literature, and in the application of formal rules to evaluate this evidence. Incorporating this methodology into the decision-making routine of clinical practice will improve the...
