Requirements Prioritization to Develop Automated Support for Adopting EHRS

Electronic health record systems (EHRS) are an important technology for providing quality and low cost health care services. Nevertheless, EHRS has a limited adoption level, which negatively affects the provision of health care services. Although it has studied the problem of EHRS' adoption, it has been analyzed from a user perspective, but it is also important a software engineering perspective about the software artifacts for promoting the adoption of EHRS. A software engineering perspective about requirements of automatic support for assisting the adoption of EHRS would reveal a unified point of view about software models for facilitating a greater likelihood of EHRS adoption. In this paper we present an experimental approach for prioritizing system requirements of automatic support for assisting the adoption of EHRS by physicians. Our results are a step in the confirmation of functional and data requirements as a significant aspect for providing automatic support to adopt an EHRS.
