Drug provision model of patients based on an architectural approach in the context of digital transformation of military healthcare

According to architectural modeling (the architectural structure of an open group), typed blocks of elements forming the basic components or layers of the architecture of a military medical organization are considered, combined into six domains with a schematic representation as typical architecture. The rational allocation of layers, their contents, interrelations, and directions of development provide an opportunity to effectively manage the complex multidisciplinary military medical organization during digital transformation. For the introduction and implementation of digital solutions, the analysis of the creation of an integrated module of a single digital contour for managing medical property resources indicates the feasibility of substantiating and developing reference functional models according to a single standard for describing business processes and the need to choose the most optimal methodology and notation for modeling reference functional architectures of a military medical organization. In a comparative analysis of the selected notations according to reasonable criteria, the business process model and designations were determined as the optimal and universal description language that most fully meets the needs of functional modeling of the architecture of information systems for the subsequent automation and digitalization of the management of medical property resources in a military medical organization. The reference functional model of the information system for the management of medical property resources is presented by the description of the processes of drug provision of admitted patients, which is one of the main target areas of the military medical organization considering its state task. Moreover, a well-founded and developed standard functional architecture in the notation of the business process model and notation 2.0 is presented as interacting pools displaying the subjects (participants) of the process with the tasks assigned to them. The methods and methodological approaches presented in the article, as well as models of functional architectures for providing medicines to patients admitted to a military medical organization, can be used as a reference in the digital transformation of the management of medical property resources at various levels of military healthcare.
