Software decision support

R D management tends to be dominated by a project management paradigm, and most organizations develop systems based upon standard project management software, for example, Microsoft Project . This is very useful for project control, but of much less help in decision support. John Gittins claimed in 1997 [10] that very few pharmaceutical companies practice use of decision analysis in planning their work. Decisions tend to be made only for a baseline plan, and typically... 

The next few steps are very similar to those required in any software project. One of the first stages is the clear definition of the knowledge domain. It must be clear which problems the expert system must solve. It is at this stage not the intention to define how this can be done. Clarity and specificity must be the major guides here. Fuzziness at this stage will, more than in classical software projects, have to be paid for later when different interpretations cause misunderstandings. Equally important is the clear definition of the end user(s). An expert system set up as decision support tool for professionals is totally different from an expert system that can be used as a training support for less professional people.

Strategic and tactical consideration for how the pharmacy software solution matches up with the clinical information systems, Internet solutions, health resource planning, access management, decision support, home care, managed care, and infrastructure applications. 

If one asks the question, What is my computer supposed to be doing when I m providing pharmaceutical care the answer will not only describe the appropriate hardware or device that matches the needs of the professional providing the care, but should also describe the optimal software that will support the provision of pharmaceutical care. We define the point-of-care as the place where a pharmacist provides pharmaceutical care to a patient or assists a colleague (pharmacist, physician, or nurse) in the provision of care. Many kinds of software available on the market today focus solely on transaction processing, with minimal decision support available through prospective drug utilization review (DUR) modules. 

First DataBank has anticipated this wave of technological change in medicine and has developed an array of software and middleware for ease and effectiveness of decision support implementation for these platforms. Time-to-market has become an absolutely critical factor in the success of healthcare IT applications. The Internet, cost containment, IT undercapitalization, and a host of other factors impacting the healthcare indus-... 

It is important to define and contrast expert systems with classical decision support systems, executive information systems, and conventional software systems. First business needs are identified, then appropriate technologies are applied, similar to conventional systems. An analysis of the cost effectiveness of a proposed expert system is important. 

Giving all medical centers such enormous bandwidth may not be feasible in the near future. But finally and not least, why do we have to bring the data somewhere to analyze it Analytical software that can roam around and self-adapt to various systems could go out and perform the analyses for physician decisions support systems. One of the authors (OKB) has developed such system, as discussed later in this book.

The basic elements of an ERP implementation include the core transaction system, packaged decision support applications provided by the ERP vendor, in-house or third-party extended applications, and a collection of tools for managing various aspects of the system (Figure 4). Each of these software elements reside in a computing environment that is typically distributed and possibly multiplatform.
