Configuring MediBoard HIS for Usability in Hospital Procedures

Abstract

Hospital complexity required the use of an information system (IS) to ensure the proper management of the various processes of the health facility. The choice of the IS presented a problematic considering the different types and qualities of ISs. To choose one, we completed a comparative study of nine open source ISs (OSHIS). We used the DeLone & McLean IS quality evaluation model and the SQALE method to evaluate the source code. The implementation using the SonarQube platform allowed us to choose MediBoard which scored a minimal technical debt by 42.16%. The installation of MediBoard was not immediate, we conducted a maintenance intervention to complete the usability of this HIS. We used ISO 12207: software life cycle standard, and ISO 14764: software maintenance standard. The implementation of these standards allowed us to have a complete version with 63 modules.
