Abstract:
In health care, combating waste is an emerging issue as clinicians face the complexities of current patient care requiring to apply new technologies as also collaborate with professionals from engineering and computer science background. Answering to that call, during the 1st Semester of 2018, at the Brazilian Aeronautics Institute of Technology (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronautica - ITA), a successful Collaborative Interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning (Co-IPBL) experience took place, for conceptualizing, modeling, developing, and testing a Computer System based upon Big Data, Blockchain Hyperledger, Micro-services, and other emerging technologies applied to Urgent and Emergency Care. The Co-IPBL experience had the participation of a medical technical team from the Hospital of Clinics at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo. In the present article, we discuss how value engineering, agile and the business model canvas could help improve functionality benefit, reduce cost, combat waste and reduce complexity. We then propose a process to apply a quantitative method to prioritize valuable User Stories, reducing scope and demonstrating real delivered value as proposed in the Business Model Canvas. For the implementation, the Blockchain Hyperledger was used as a common database of health care information that doctors and providers could access.
