Abstract

Recent history of healthcare software is littered with failures, mostly attributable to bad design and the inability to capture user community’s needs and workflows[1]. This paper presents a new agile methodology aiming at improving engineering practises in Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE)-based projects in small-to-medium scale hospitals and healthcare organizations. The work described here is a compilation of experiences in the field and is based on the successfull Scrum methodology, centered on IHE specifications that aims at providing value by making IHE developments easier and more predictable.

Keywords: Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise IHE security methodology planning Scrum interoperability
