Abstract

Introduction In designing a system like an Electronic Health Record (EHR), there is a proliferation of methods and best practices. Bitter truth is that many efforts to design such methods fail. Practice all too often indicates that there is no systematic link between a business process and the associated business data. Method This calls for a systematic approach for designing databases in a way in which the users are actively involved and their (business) processes are leading. That said, the business data, modelled in a database, can be derived from the processes. This method will be coined as Fact-Based Business Process Modelling (FB-BPM). This method is tested and validated in the design of an EHR at a large teaching hospital in the Netherlands (LTHN). Results/conclusion The results of this research show that the method has been validated for complex business processes. It has also been proven that the method is validated in the context of an EHR.
