AbstractDuring the last decade, several projects aiming at integrated clinical workstations have been described and several prototypes have been demonstrated. In most of these projects, the clinical workstation accesses information and functionality provided by the present proprietary legacy systems of health-care institutions. We discuss trends in integrated clinical workstations from the viewpoints of software engineering and integration, considering that the clinical workstation itself basically consists of three layers: a presentation layer, a data integration layer, and a communication layer. The software engineering view on clinical workstations focuses on the development of basic building blocks from which clinical workstations, specific to a particular medical domain, can be composed. The integration view on clinical workstations addresses methods and techniques to deal with the, in general, intrinsically closed information systems in health-care institutions.

Smart Healthcare

Software engineering has been used by software vendors and consultants in the development of quality health care applications ranging from electronic medical systems, patient record management applications to medical middleware devices. As a discipline, it has evolved over the last decade in the production of high-quality software across many industries. Healthcare applications demand unique expertise tailored to best project methodologies and software development models. Many health care providers argue that best software practices and usercentered design principles are vital to producing quality applications across all domains. Lack of focus on systematic software development process increases flaws in the implementation causing a loss regarding quality, cost, and trust. The survey paper seeks to analyze existing models in the area of Software Engineering and to propose best SDLC model for Smart Healthcare applications which focuses on quality improvement. This survey also includes identifying the research challenges of software engineering for smart applications
