Abstract:Planning principles and development are described of a communication server which controls and performs all information exchange between distributed and heterogeneous applications in a hospital information system. The analysis is based on business process modeling. At present, the core of the server uses a commercial product (Cloverleaf). This allows to connect both old systems with no or few interface features and new systems with modern interface facilities (such as HL7). Prerequisites, functions, and configuration of the server software are described in detail. Experiences, advantages, and disadvantages are discussed.

This paper presents a methodology to bridge the gap between business process modeling and workflow specification. While the first is concerned with intuitive descriptions that are mainly used for communication, the second is concerned with configuring a process-aware information system, thus requiring a more rigorous language less suitable for communication. Unlike existing approaches the gap is not bridged by providing formal semantics for an informal language. Instead it is assumed that the desired behavior is just a subset of the full behavior obtained using a liberal interpretation of the informal business process modeling language. Using a new correctness criterion (relaxed soundness), it is verified whether a selection of suitable behavior is possible. The methodology consists of five steps and is illustrated using event-driven process chains as a business process modeling language and Petri nets as the workflow specification language.

Modelling Techniques

This chapter discusses the idea that even though information systems development (ISD) approaches have long advocated the use of integrated organisational views, the modelling techniques used have not been adapted accordingly and remain focused on the automated information system (IS) solution. Existing research provides evidence that business process simulation (BPS) can be used at different points in the ISD process to provide better-integrated organisational views that aid the design of appropriate IS solutions. Despite this fact, research in this area is not extensive; suggesting that the potential of using BPS for the ISD process is not yet well understood. The paper uses the findings from three different case studies to illustrate the ways BPS has been used at different points in the ISD process, especially in the area of requirements engineering. It compares the results against IS modelling techniques, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages that BPS has over the latter. The research necessary to develop appropriate BPS tools and give guidance on their use in the ISD process is discussed.

Process Oriented

In order to develop the process-oriented software, we put forward hierarchical colored Petri net (HCPN) to model business process. This approach consists of hierarchical decomposition graph, detailed process graph. Furthermore, the concept of business process components (BPCs) is proposed to facility the business process modeling. The software components, which are constructs of the information system, can be derived by means of the mapping from the relevant business process components. The development of business process-oriented application will be more convenient and rapid based on component library. Such an application becomes more flexible to the changing environment.

Medical institutions and health care billing system is mostly independent of the hospital information system software, such as the presence of a heavy workload and inconsistent information due to the Hospital Information System would like to produce a secondary entry problems. Design of Medicare billing software based on the interface, is the fundamental solution to the problem. This paper describes a specific Medicare interface specification, implementation of information exchange with the medical center by the dynamic link library functions, including the structure and format of the input and output parameters of the library function call, as well as medical insurance information processing flow. Select Delphi as a development tools, the definition of the interface specification stored in arrays, Achieve various Medicare functions of the Medicare interface specification with custom functions. A Medicare billing software system is completed with Medicare directory information management, Medicare card information management, Medicare fee settlement management, and the other Medicare functions.

Analysis and Design of Logistic Delivery System in PT Repex Wahana aims to analyze company’s need in existing business process of logistic delivery service. This will then be used in the development of an integrated system that can address the problems in the running process of sending and tracking the whereaboutsor status of the delivered goods which are the core business processes in the enterprise. The result then will be used as basis in the development of integrated information system in pursuit of corporate solution for process business automation, delivery process, inventory, and logistic delivery tracking, which is the core of the company business process, and it will be documented using Unified Modeling Language. The information system is meant to simplify the delivery and tracking process in the company, besides will minimize lost and error of data which is often happened because of the manual and unorganized transaction data processing.

An Extension of BPMN Meta-model for Evaluation of Business ProcessesBusiness process modeling is used for better understanding and communication of company's processes. Mostly, business process modeling is discussed from the information system development perspective. Execution of a business process involves various factors (costs and time) which are important and should be represented in business process models. Controlling of business units uses post execution analysis for detection of failures for improvement. The process models conceived for information system development are not sufficient for post execution analysis. This paper focuses on the challenges of business process modeling in the post execution context. We provide a meta model for evaluation of a business process and discuss BPMN in this context. We also extend existing BPMN meta model for performance analysis of business processes. The proposed extensions are presented with the help of an example.

This is a proposal for the implementation of "Science SQC" (a program based on the new scientific SQC method in Manufacturing) in order to elevate the quality of the business process. We construct the "Availability and Reliability Information Administration System — ARIM-BL" as a practical example of "Inline-Online SQC." As for the key technology of "Science SQC," it is indispensable to implement "Inline-Online SQC" by utilizing both methods consistently. It makes the dark points in business process clear and manages to communicate between man and information. This study describes the total integrated process information system, which links together between Production Engineering division and Manufacturing Engineering division. It is representative of intelligent "Inline-Online SQC." We have introduced the demonstrative and effective system into FBL (Flexible Body Line), which was the core of TPS (Toyota Production System).
