Abstract

After implementation of an integrated healthcare solution (HIS/RIS/PACS), buyers need assurance that they are receiving what was promised. After a system was installed, the buyer creates a list of improvements to address areas where final satisfaction is pending. The following approach shall help testing unclear system specification or missed features. The requirements related to technology address hard-/software dependencies, uptime or single point of failure. It lists features, programming languages and operating systems. It addresses interfaces and protocols between system components, performance and security requirements. The requirements related to data define the workload between image sources and sinks. At the sources, the data type and information content can be described in detail. The requirement of image accessibility relates to automation supporting prior images and rule based image distribution of images. The requirements related to workflow refer to the display and post processing options that are related to image working places. The reporting support requirements refer to a classification of data that is sent into the system and needs to be tracked to avoid duplicate work or support change in access criteria for images.
