Accelerating the Development of Health and Social Services Systems through Model-Driven Engineering: Two Case Studies

The Integrated Center for Health and Social Services in Gaspesia, Québec (CIHSSG) needed new software systems in order to better serve its customers and offer new services. However, as a small organization, resources, both human and financial, are limited. This is why CIHSSG mandated us to come up with a solution that enables the development and acquisition of software systems with the lowest possible cost. We proposed the development of the new systems through the adoption of a model-driven engineering approach (MDE). In this paper, we present the case studies, our MDE approach and the results who show how our approach has accelerated the development of the new systems while reducing the cost of their development and maintenance.
