VOIS adopted a model-driven approach to represent, analyze, instantiate and manage patient chemotherapy plans. As part of the tool chain, domain-specific models are used to capture clinical protocol knowledge that is translated by interpreters to the analysis and execution environments.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe execution environment is composed of a model-driven execution engine, a graphical user interface, and system integration interfaces. These interfaces allowed for the integration with a broad range of CISs at VUMC, including the computerized provider order entry system (CPOE), the pharmacy information system (PIS), the nursing documentation system, the electronic medical record system (EMR), and the outpatient whiteboard.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nVOIS utilizes a custom-built, visual, domain-specific language to express the executable treatment protocols and related knowledge, all of which has been curated by SMEs. Such formal approach allowed for a tremendous reduction in the ambiguity of the treatment protocols, and through the promotion of component reuse, conciseness and an extraordinary speed in implementation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1384\/2018\/05\/VOIS-Architecture.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1384\/2018\/05\/VOIS-Architecture.png\" alt=\"VOIS Architecture\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>VOIS in numbers<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\">Project<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Time Frame: <strong>September of 2010 &#8211; November of 2017<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Builder FTEs: <strong>2 builders<\/strong> (4-10 FTEs total)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\">Models<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Number of Protocols: <strong>539 modeled \/ 421 used<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Number of Concepts: <strong>5M instances + 6M relationships<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\">Utility<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Time Frame: <strong>September of 2013 &#8211; November of 2017<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;padding-bottom: 0\">\n<div>Users: <strong>162 planners \/ 100 signers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;margin-left: 46px\">with gradual rollout to all outpatient chemotherapy prescribing providers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Number of Patients: <strong>5828<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>Number of Instances: <strong>9,891 plans \/ 292,345 med orders<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Implementation Efficiency<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\nThe model based approach yielded an efficient method for dealing with the non-trivial complexity of the cancer management domain.
