Methodology - Outcome Driven Development

Methodology - Outcome Driven Development

This outline is based off my understanding of the article
“Done is dead – welcome to outcome-driven development” found at:
https://sdtimes.com/agile/done-dead-welcome-outcome-driven-development/

1. How is work measured traditionally? By output?
2. How is success defined conventionally? Success is commonly defined as shipping a product, feature or bug fix to customers.
3. How many companies are thinking into better practices?
4. How far behind are conventional approaches?
5. To ship more frequently Agile is adopted in modern thinking. However disruptors are delivering updates in one day based on analytics.
6. Outcome-driven development defines “done” as delivering measurable value, not simply completing user stories. However shipping or delivering doesn’t realize impact to the user or customer.
7. Classic agile is: plan, build, deploy, listen and repeat.
8. Often it is pervasive culture that presents a bigger hurdle to success than technology.
9. Instead of measuring outputs of effort (hours worked, user stories shipped, etc.), the outcome-driven development team sets goals measured in results: reduced churn, improved Apdex score, more users returning each day, etc.

Healthcare Acronyms related to Medical Records - EMR, EHR, PHR and PHI

Healthcare Acronyms related to Medical Records - EMR, EHR, PHR and PHI

What is EMR?

EMR is an acronym for Electronic Medical Record which by common definition stands for the digitization of a patient record within a health care system. However it is also likely to be an indication of “EMR System” or the software application that is the primary portal for digital health records.

EHR is considered a super set of detail over the EMR that is transportable outside any clinical entity to another clinical entity.

PHR is a personal health record that can be maintained by the patient.

PHI stands for protected health information which is legally protected information pertaining to health of an individual.

In terms of software architecture within the business of healthcare an EMR system constitutes a critical effort of operation that most likely involves the entire enterprise topology.

In terms of ALM - application lifecycle management within EMR program the underlying data schema for the related application topology is dynamic to that state of EMR and PHI, most likely with PHR and increasingly likely with PHR.
