Scheme of the Software Engineering Elements that Are Part of the Development of eHealth-Oriented Models and Frameworks

When developing models or frameworks in electronic health, known as eHealth, they must consider a variety of essential characteristics for their optimal functioning; however, identifying these characteristics is complicated because health processes, especially those directed at health care, are very diverse. Therefore, the objective of the research is to identify the most used characteristics in the development of frameworks or models for eHealth, to determine which are the ones that have had the greatest relevance and thus offer a general extract of the essential components in the design of eHealth-oriented models or frameworks. The set of evidence shows as a result the essential characteristics to develop models and frameworks in the eHealth field, such as: optimal management of documentation based on semantic terminology, adoption or management of ontologies, application of IT governance standards, quality and health, safety and privacy, functional and quality requirements, among others. Based on what has been observed, it is concluded that by identifying the main characteristics that any model or framework developed for eHealth must have, it allows the researcher or developer to have a clearer vision of what these types of systems should consider creating an architectural structure. More solid, formal and quality in the context of eHealth.
