Understanding Model Led Requirements Development Approach
Business Requirements
The system SHALL provide the ability for the Pharmacy user to define a customizable view of the Patient’s detailed health record data (e.g., diagnosis, allergies)
The system SHALL transmit documented reasons for overriding a drug alert to the pharmacy to enable communication between the clinician and the pharmacist.
The system SHALL identify contraindications between a drug and patient conditions at time of the med ordering.
Information Model 31
Business Process Model

documentation of information needs and high level and detailed business
requirements
Model Led Requirements Approach Benefits

Strawman Model Development
• The strawman model is a draft process that is developed based on the business need, existing documentation and models, and basic understanding of the process.
• The strawman model is used to begin process discussions with stakeholders.
How does your process begin? What happens a6er the Medica8on is received? Are there any other inputs or outputs for this ac8vity? Are there any decision points in this process?
Business Architect
SME
33
High-Level Process Model
• The high-level process model is an overview of the process from beginning to end, that accomplishes the intended goal of the process.
• Provides a roadmap of the process for which further details will be captured, not only for process, but also for requirements and information. The high-level process also defines the scope of the process.
• As the high-level model is developed, stakeholders begin to discuss desired requirements about the process.

ApplicaPon System Acronym ApplicaPon System DescripPon Pharm: Bar Code Medica.on Administra.on (BCMA) BCMA Bar Code Medica.on Administra.on (BCMA) sonware provides a real-‐.me, point-‐
of-‐care solu.on for valida.ng the administra.on of Unit Dose (UD) and Intravenous (IV) medica.ons to inpa.ents in Veterans Administra.on Medical Centers (VAMCs). BCMA uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), MS Windows-‐based Client/Server architecture, designed to improve the accuracy of the medica.on administra.on process, and to increase the efficiency of the administra.on documenta.on process. The end result is enhanced pa.ent safety and pa.ent care at VAMCs.
Pharm: Benefits Management (PBM) PBM The sonware extracts medica.on dispensing data elements from the Outpa.ent
Pharmacy, Inpa.ent Medica.ons IV and Unit Dose, Automa.c Replenishment/Ward Stock, and Controlled Substance modules; Procurement informa.on from Drug Accountability, Integrated Funds Control, Accoun.ng and Procurement (IFCAP); and a limited amount of Laboratory data on a monthly basis. The sonware makes data extrac.on reports available at Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) and allows local management to use the data to project local drug usage and iden.fy poten.al drug accountability problem areas.
Pharm: Na.onal Drug File (NDF) NDF The Na.onal Drug File (NDF) package provides standardiza.on of the local drug
files in all VA medical facili.es. Standardiza.on includes the adop.on of new drug nomenclature and drug classifica.on, as well as linking the local drug file entries to data in the Na.onal Drug files. For drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administra.on (FDA), NDF provides VA medical facili.es with the ability to access informa.on concerning dosage form, strength and unit, package size and type, manufacturer’s trade name, and Na.onal Drug Code (NDC) informa.on. The NDF sonware also lays the founda.on for sharing prescrip.on informa.on among medical facili.es.

Pharm: Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA)
BCMA Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) software provides a real-‐time, point-‐of-‐care solution for validating the administration of Unit Dose (UD) and Intravenous (IV) medications to inpatients in Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMCs). BCMA uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI), MS Windows-‐based Client/Server architecture, designed to improve the accuracy of the medication administration process, and to increase the efficiency of the administration documentation process. The end result is enhanced patient safety and patient care at VAMCs.
Pharm: Benefits Management (PBM)
PBM The software extracts medication dispensing data elements from the Outpatient Pharmacy, Inpatient Medications IV and Unit Dose, Automatic Replenishment/Ward Stock, and Controlled Substance modules; Procurement information from Drug Accountability, Integrated Funds Control, Accounting and Procurement (IFCAP); and a limited amount of Laboratory data on a monthly basis. The software makes data extraction reports available at Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) and allows local management to use the data to project local drug usage and identify potential drug accountability problem areas.
Pharm: National Drug File (NDF)
NDF The National Drug File (NDF) package provides standardization of the local drug files in all VA medical facilities. Standardization includes the adoption of new drug nomenclature and drug classification, as well as linking the local drug file entries to data in the National Drug files. For drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), NDF provides VA medical facilities with the ability to access information concerning dosage form, strength and unit, package size and type, manufacturer’s trade name, and National Drug Code (NDC) information. The NDF software also lays the foundation for sharing prescription information among medical facilities.
