Abstract
In this paper the semi-conceptual modelling methodology of ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information System) and corresponding software product is used to address the needs of process and information modelling within emergency care context by synthesizing an architecture for an integrated clinical process-oriented information system that brings together required elements of organizational, data, process, and knowledge modelling. It is stressed that since clinical process within the ED settings is highly complex and flexible, the supporting information systems architecture should relate very closely to the underlying business concept of continuum of care, and be of highly integrated nature. Case study reported in this paper took place within the settings of the emergency department of Frankston Hospital, Peninsula Health, Victoria, Australia. ARIS modelling methodology and toolkit were found to be highly appropriate to meet the needs of medical emergency care industry in Australia and are recommended for this purpose.
