Abstract :
It has been demonstrated recently that, the computer plays a significant role in the consultation process in doctors room, it is considered as a third actor. Doctors use the computer system to record information about their patients to help them in consultation process. This computerised prescribing reduces errors, agile safety and saves time in re-description of the patients case. Currently, more practices use various types of computer systems which have been already developed to match the needs of general practitioners and health service managers. Moreover, the development of the clinical systems helps the doctors in diagnosis with more accuracy in the consulting rooms, and that development has many aims: Health monitoring, disease management, examinations, test results review etc. These systems may enhance the medical care quality. In addition, a good consultation meets the concerns and expectations of the patient. The Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) is an agile delivery framework for management and delivery of IT- and non-IT-related projects. It focuses on strategic goals and incremental delivery of real business benefits; at the same time it is maintaining control of cost, risk, and quality. In this paper, Atern DSDM will be used for clinical system development by using development tools like ALFA (Activity Log Files Aggregation) Toolkit to measure the impact of various patients records systems (EPR) features on the clinical consultation. It provides the best practice approach using collaborative working, demonstrable prototypes and regular evaluations. Three stages are applied to develop the ALFA Toolkit: observation, aggregation and analysis and Multichannel video which are used three or four to a single screen to identify the occurrence of different interactions and their duration. Ultimately, data were analyzed to get results.
