“…In particular, they are focusing on the technical design and completion (hardware and software) related to the RFId traceability and to both the telemedicine and traceability platforms. Crucial attention must be paid in considering digital illiteracy of older people, the wide heterogeneity of the processed data, the use of standardized RFId carriers and readers and all the privacy, legal and ethical issues involved in the traceability [Lovis, 2008] [AbuKhousa et al, 2014.…”

The continuous growth of the healthcare sector is followed by a corresponding demand to reduce costs and to improve the quality of its management processes. One way to meet these requirements is to leverage on a better management and traceability of medicines and medical devices through ICT, not only at the hospital but also at the patient's home. The project "LIFEMED -Integrated Logistic of Medicines and Medical Devices", aims, indeed, at the realization of an innovative digital model for medicines and medical devices logistic management. In particular, for the management and the traceability of medicines and medical devices at home, the solution will be characterized by a telemedicine platform together with a traceability platform based on RFId and barcode labels and readers. The telemedicine and traceability platforms will allow for a better monitoring of respectively the patient's correct medicine administration and the medicines and medical devices logistic, as demonstrated by the example of the peritoneal dialysis, a domiciliary treatment addressed in the project. Despite all the advantages, attention must be paid during the platform design in considering crucial factors like digital illiteracy of older people and the privacy, legal and ethical issues.

“…Their implementation has proven to be more complex primarily because it handles a diversity of items in widely varying quantities, in response to the large number of diagnosis types and procedures. Secondly, it requires the participation of many different stakeholders and it is highly influenced by legislations and healthcare professionals [14,24,25]. Furthermore, healthcare is a customer driven service, which means that customers are an effective part of the process [26,27].…”

“…To support these issues, simulation modelling is an effective approach to achieve success in healthcare redesign (Williams and Vanessa (2003). Changes in healthcare systems can be tested prior to real-life implementation (AbuKhousa et al 2014). It can also lead all healthcare stakeholders to participate in a redesign project.…”

Nowadays, several Thai hospitals are still suffering from inefficient processes. Redesigning business processes is an effective way for improvement. However, business process mapping and analysis in healthcare environment has become a complex task. Besides, most healthcare professionals often resist change. To deal with these obstacles, a design pattern useful for modelling and simulation is suggested in this paper. For deriving patterns in this study, current problems focusing on hospital pharmacy management are initially identified through empirical investigation. Then the suitable solutions can be determined based on the literature review. The design pattern is represented through various attributes including pattern name, purpose, description, modelling structure using a modelling language. In addition, more attributes related to simulation modelling are also combined such as control variables and performance measures. Process modellers can rapidly understand the context of problems through design patterns. The proposed patterns can be reused to create a new model and conduct a successful simulation study. This approach can be a valuable tool to redesign healthcare systems.
