Abstract

This paper presents a domain-specific modelling language for patient transferal management (DSML4PTM). To foster reusability within the modelling community, existing modelling languages were taken into account as far as possible and then extended as was needed by the application domain. The language was developed through iteration following the design science research methodology. For requirements elicitation purposes domain expertise and healthcare standards were taken into account. The new modelling language was evaluated first with respect to the elicited requirements and then through the creation of two models reflecting a reference process and an application scenario. Next, an evaluation on the perceived usefulness and cognitive effort of the language was performed using a focus group with modelling and domain experts.
