Abstract

The health area has received investments around the world to the development of information systems that provide support for its activities. However, to reflect the needs of users and be more productive, there are still some challenges to be faced in the process of development for these systems. In this context, model-driven approaches are potentially relevant to deal adequately with these problems because they offer a higher level of abstraction in software development. This feature provides reusability, portability and interoperability, improving process productivity and quality of the applications. In this paper it will be discussed the application of model-driven approaches in the development of Health Information Systems (HIS).
