Software Prototyping: A Case Report of Refining User Requirements for a Health Information Exchange Dashboard

Software prototyping

Introduction
• Software engineering contains various methods for
monitoring the development of software involving
requirement collection, coding, testing and analysis
process.
• The goal of this paper is to describe the significance
of software engineering methodology and analyze a
journal article based on the selected topic.
• The title of the adopted article is “Software
prototyping: A case report of refining user
requirements for a health information exchange
dashboard” that was written by Scott and other
researchers in the year 2016 [1].

Intentions of the article
• The chosen paper is based on software
engineering that was written by Scott and
other researchers in the year 2016.
• The key objective of this paper is to
demonstrate the design on an HIE dashboard
and the refinement of consumer requirements
through a rapid prototyping process [2].
• This research paper highlighted the
significance of poison control centers (PCCs)
and emergency departments in the reduction of
poisoning related issues [3].

Intentions of the article
• The authors argued that poisoning is a
common cause of death in the US.
• Mainly, poison control centers provided a
platform for controlling and reducing the
rate of poisonings in the patients.
• For facilitating the consumer center
design, the researchers adopted rapid
prototyping which provided feedback from
the target consumers based on the HIE
software [4].
