A methodology for developing clinical collaborative communication systems

As healthcare organizations are struggling to enhance healthcare qualities and efficiencies, they focus on secure and efficient sharing of clinical information among healthcare providers including doctors, nurses, medical laboratories, and informal caregivers, throughout the entire healthcare life cycle. Any failure or error during this clinical collaborative communication can have negative impact on the efficiencies of the whole healthcare delivery system. This paper suggests a methodological approach to address the needs in this area and proposes a methodology for developing clinical collaborative communication (C3)$$^{3})$$ systems. Since C3$$^{3}$$ demands a variety of collaborative communications among multiple healthcare stakeholders, the proposed approach focuses on the effective system design and analysis with the objective to enhance collaboration and communication in healthcare organizations.
