Daily Care Information System Requirements: Professional Service-Driven Service Blueprint Approach

Abstract

Background Long-term care (LTC) services are a professional service-driven (PSD) system; to deliver appropriate care services to residents, health care providers first need to collect appropriate patient data and make a professional assessment. A well-designed LTC information system should therefore consider the information requirements of multidisciplinary health care providers to adequately support their care services. Objectives This study proposed a modified service blueprint—the PSD service blueprint—for visualizing interdisciplinary service providers' input and output information requirements, which correspond to their service activities. Methods The PSD service blueprint comprises five layers and seven elements. We also present a case study to illustrate the blueprint's application to daily LTC services. Results Our proposed approach could clearly illustrate the daily care activities, service providers (main actors), actors' input and output information, and suggestions for LTC information system–related applications. Conclusion The proposed PSD service blueprint can not only gather interdisciplinary LTC service providers' information system requirements but also act as a mapping tool for visualizing the care service process.

Development of a communication platform for patients with head and neck cancer for effective information delivery and improvement of doctor–patient relationship: application of treatment journey-based service blueprint

“…Service blueprints (SBs) are often used as an effective methodology to support stakeholder collaboration. They map service processes and interactions between stakeholders from the user’s perspective [ 30 – 35 ] by visualizing a service system. This is beneficial for educating service users, evaluating service systems from various perspectives, and establishing specific response strategies for new service concepts or systems [ 36 , 37 ].…”
