This article contends that design science research (DSR) has emerged as an important approach in information systems (IS) research. The design science research roadmap (DSRR) model describes the process of using the DSR in IS in great detail. Unfortunately, the existing literature does not address the task of demonstrating the use of the DSRR in detail by conducting a real case study. This article aims to examine the implementation of the DSRR with real IS research activities. The construction of a systematic innovation framework to solve problems for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is used as a case study for demonstration purposes. This article shows that the DSRR provides very useful guidance, since it covers almost all the necessary steps to conduct DSR in the information systems field. The illustrations provided with each step of the DSRR in this article will help other researchers, especially novice researchers, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the use of the DSRR model.

Concept Knowledge (C-K) theory has been used in engineering and science-based research for more than a decade. Design of an Information Technology (IT) artefact is mostly pragmatic in nature. Design Science Research (DSR) methodology applied and studied in many Information Systems (IS) research. Many sub design decisions involved through the design of an IT artefact from a concept (idea) to a working prototype. A DSR artefact is based on a combination of decisions made during several sub-design stages. Artefacts are built based on the selection of elements in each sub-design space. Recording the design decisions on each sub-design space would be beneficial for future researchers. By knowing the design decisions on each sub-design space, researchers would be able to try different combinations of the design. C-K theory provides the ability to capture the design processes’ several sub-design spaces. In this paper, we discuss the DSR research methodology by looking at the stages proposed in the literature, and the application of C-K theory in an IT-based DSR. This paper also proposed a C-K theory-based protocol called Concept Tree for tracking and reporting artefact design steps. The application of C-K theory in DSR is exhibited using the implementation of the Concept Tree for a prototype design IT artefact.

Infor Mation

Design science research is a common research method in the field of information systems (IS), as it bridges the gap between IS research and practice. The outcome of design science research are artifacts, which – besides others –can be prototypical applications, so-called IT artifacts. When such IT artifacts are evaluated as part of a design science research cycle, questionnaires and inter- views are a commonly used method. We have integrated the demonstration and evaluation phase of a web-based IT artifact, by developing a web-based infor- mation system which integrates both a web-based prototype with a questionnaire system. Our information system supports multiple studies, different versions of the IT artifact and several question-specific and participant-specific configura- tion options.

Introdução: Inserido no desafio de possibilitar a interação de profissionais da saúde com prontuários eletrônicos baseados na Norma ISO 13606 permitindo a personalização de interface ao mesmo tempo que se preserva a estrutura e padronização dos Sistemas de Registros Eletrônicos de Saúde (S-RES), o presente recorte objetiva caracterizar propriedades essenciais de S-RES - flexibilidade, padronização e estrutura e facilidade de interação - analisando-se três destes sistemas. Método: Utilizou-se o método de Design Science Research que busca gerar conhecimento teórico a partir da resolução de um problema prático (identificado no contexto da investigação mais ampla). Mais especificamente, no objetivo explicitado neste recorte, efetivou-se uma revisão de literatura sobre os requisitos existentes e dificuldades dos usuários dos sistemas S-RES, seguida de um levantamento e caracterização das propriedades essenciais dos S-RES e do estabelecimento de critérios de análise. O método de inspeção completa a proposta metodológica, visto que as questões (que indicam os critérios) foram apresentadas a dois especialistas para a análise dos Sistemas. Resultados: No recorte proposto, as propriedades levantadas como essenciais dos sistemas foram caracterizadas e analisadas em três S-RES. Confirmou-se a importância das propriedades essenciais destes tipos de sistemas, ainda que verifique a dificuldade de serem atendidas em um mesmo sistema. Conclusão: Os desafios postos aos S-RES não são pontuais ou mesmo de um contexto de uso. Como trabalho futuro propõe-se a criação de um modelo de interface extensível de interface para sistemas de Registro Eletrônico de Saúde baseados na ISO 13606.
