Background: Today, the use of data in managerial and clinical processes is quite challenging due to the large volume of data, data collection from various sources, and lack of data structure. As a data management tool, dashboards play a critical role in facilitating a timely and efficient representation of data.Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify functional and non- functional requirements, as well as challenges of using dashboards in hospitals.Methods: In this systematic review, four databases, including the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus, were searched to find relevant articles from 2000 until May 30, 2020. The final search was conducted on May 30, 2020. Data collection was performed using a data extraction form and reviewing the content of relevant studies on the potentials and challenges of dashboard implementation.Results: The functional requirements for dashboards included reporting, reminders, customization, tracking, alert creation, and assessment of performance indicators. On the other hand, the non-functional requirements included the dashboard speed, security, ease of use, installation on different devices (e.g., PCs and laptops), integration with other systems, web-based design, inclusion of a data warehouse, being up-to-data, and use of data visualization elements based on the user’s needs. Moreover, the identified challenges were categorized into four groups: data sources, dashboard content, dashboard design, implementation, and integration in other systems at the hospital level.Conclusion: Dashboards, by providing information in an appropriate manner, can lead to the proper use of information by users. In order for a dashboard to be effective in clinical and managerial processes, particular attention must be paid to its capabilities, and the challenges of its implementation need to be addressed.

“…They distinguish between quality assessment applied in domain engineering and application engineering. Etxeberria et al [2008] presented a survey that additionally incorporates variability modeling, design, architecture, implementation, and testing. In contrast to both reviews, we focus only on product-line analysis that operate statically, our classification is more fine-grained, and we survey more approaches.…”

A Classification and Survey of Analysis Strategies for Software Product Lines

et al. 2014

Software-product-line engineering has gained considerable momentum in the recent years, both in industry and in academia. A software product line is a family of software products that share a common set of features. Software product lines challenge traditional analysis techniques, such as type checking, model checking, and theorem proving, in their quest of ensuring correctness and reliability of software. Simply creating and analyzing all products of a product line is usually not feasible, due to the potentially exponential number of valid feature combinations. Recently, researchers began to develop analysis techniques that take the distinguishing properties of software product lines into account, for example, by checking feature-related code in isolation or by exploiting variability information during analysis. The emerging field of product-line analyses is both broad and diverse, so it is difficult for researchers and practitioners to understand their similarities and differences. We propose a classification of product-line analyses to enable systematic research and application. Based on our insights with classifying and comparing a corpus of 123 research articles, we develop a research agenda to guide future research on product-line analyses.

“…de Oliveira et al extend RiPLE-DE, a domain engineering process to create domainspecific software architectures for product lines to help realize quality attribute variability [5]. Etxeberria and Sagardui discuss quality-aware product line engineering [9], modeling of variation in quality attributes in product lines [8], the evaluation of quality attribute variability in product lines [6] and propose variabilitydriven quality evaluation of software product lines [7]. Niemela and Immonen explore capturing quality requirements of product family architectures [25].…”

Variability in software systems is usually concerned with variability in features and functionality. However, variability also occurs in quality attributes (e.g., performance, security) and quality attribute requirements (for example, a performance requirement may state that a system must respond to a user request within 0.1 seconds). We discuss what variability in quality attributes is, including several scenarios in which variability in quality attributes can occur. We then discuss the state of research and what we know about variability in quality attributes, including some existing research to address the challenge of identifying, implementing and managing variability in quality attributes. Finally, we discuss potential directions for future research.
