History of Ramathibodi’s IT

Development

Page 12: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

12

• CIO: Dr. Suchart Soranasataporn• Developed HIS from scratch• Started from MPI, OPD, IPD,

Pharmacy, Billing, etc.• Platform: Visual FoxPro (UI, Logic,

Database)

1st Generation (~1987-2001)

Page 13: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

13

Visual FoxPro

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_FoxPro

Page 14: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

14

• File-based DB, not real DBMS– Performance Issues

• Not well designed indexing, concurrency controls & access controls

• Indexes sensitive to network disruptions• Single point of failures (no redundancy)

– Scalability Issues• Database file size < 2GB

• Not service-oriented architecture

Some Limitations of Visual FoxPro

Page 15: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

15

• Trials & errors• Individuals or small teams

– Teams based on system modules (OPD, IPD, Billing, etc.)

• Non-systematic, no documents

1st-Generation Development Process

Page 16: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

16

• CIO: Dr. Piyamitr Sritara• Developed CPOE for inpatients

medication orders• Lab orders and lab results viewing• Discharge summaries, etc.• Enhanced existing HIS modules and add more

modules and departmental systems (e.g. LR, OR)• Platform: Visual FoxPro (UI, Logic, Database)

2nd Generation (2001-2005)

Page 17: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

17

• Java or .NET?

• Open/cost-effective vs. timely development

• Technology survival?

• Decision: Defer & continue using Visual FoxPro

2nd Generation (2001-2005)

http://thinkunlimited.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Fork_in_the_road_sign.jpg

Page 18: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

18

• Small teams– Teams based on system modules (OPD, IPD,

Billing, Pharmacy, Lab, etc.)• Realized needs for systematic software

development process• Started formal systems analysis & design

with some documents

2nd-Generation Development Process

Page 19: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

19

• CIO: Dr. Artit Ungkanont• Continued ongoing projects from

2nd Generation & implemented– ERP, PACS

• Implemented commercial LIS• Implemented self-developed web-

based “Doctor’s Portal”

3rd Generation (2005-2011)

Page 20: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

20

• Architectural changes: Used middleware (web services, JBOSS, JCAPS)

• Implemented data exchange of lab & ADT data using HL7 v.2 & v.3 messaging

• Enhanced existing HIS & add more functions• SDMC becomes operational (2011)• Platform:

– Web [Mainly Java] (UI)– Web services (Logic)– Oracle & Microsoft SQL Server (Database)

• Legacy platform: Visual FoxPro (UI, Logic, Database)

3rd Generation (2005-2011)

Page 21: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

21

• Small teams– Teams based on system modules (OPD, IPD,

Billing, Pharmacy, Lab, etc.)• Attempted systematic software

development process, with limited success• Balancing quality development with timely

software delivery difficult

3rd-Generation Development Process

Page 22: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

22

• CIO: Dr. Chusak Okaschareon• Implemented CPOE for

outpatients (with gradual roll-out)• Scanned Medical Records for

outpatients• RamaEMR (portal & EMR

viewer for physicians and nurses in OPD)

4th Generation (2011-Present)

Page 23: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

23

• Ongoing projects– CMMI & high-quality software testing– High-Performance Data Center & IT Services (ISO)– Business intelligence– Security

• Platform:– Web [Mainly Java] (UI)– Web services (Logic)– Oracle & Microsoft SQL Server (Database)

• Legacy platform: Visual FoxPro (UI, Logic, DB)

4th Generation (2011-Present)

Page 24: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

24

• Project-based development• Roles of “Business Analysts”• From “silo” teams to “pooled” resources

– Business Analysis Team– Systems Analysis Team– Development Team– Testing Teams

Lesson #3Build or Buy?: A

Context-Dependent, but Serious Decision

Page 53: Best Practices of Hospital IT from Ramathibodi Hospital

53

Build or Buy

Build/Homegrown• Full control of software &

data• Requires local expertise• Expertise

retention/knowledge management is vital

• Maybe cost-effective if high degree of local customizations or long-term projection

Buy/Outsource• Less control of software &

data• Requires vendor

competence• Vendor relationship

management is vital• Maybe cost-effective

if economies of scale or few customizations

IT Outsourcing Decision Tree: Ramathibodi’s Case

Core HIS, CPOEStrategic advantages• Agility due to local workflow accommodations• Secondary data utilization (research, QI)• Roadmap to national leader in informatics (internal “lab”)

External delivery unreliable• Non-Core HIS,External delivery higher cost• ERP maintenance/ongoing customization
