Retracted: An Architectural Framework for Healthcare Dashboards Design

Abstract

In today’s competitive environment, one of the new tools in the field of information technology is business or organizational
dashboards that are a backup in the process of strategic management of organizations. The purpose of the current research is
to provide a framework to design the healthcare dashboard through technical architecture with fulfilling the decision-makers’
requirements. In this study, a common qualitative research method, metasynthesis, is applied, including a seven-step set of research
questions, conducting systematic literature search and selection of suitable papers, data extraction, analysis and findings
of the qualitative composition, quality control, and presentation of findings. During this process, 102 articles were found by
saturation of information resources and then 12 articles were selected for extracting data using acceptance and rejection criteria.
A critical evaluation method was used to evaluate the quality of selected articles. After investigating the selected articles and
scoring them, in terms of quality, one article was very good, 10 articles were good, and one article was moderate. Then, with
regard to the principles and guidelines of technical architecture, the required information was extracted from the selected articles
and was analyzed with the method of open, axial, and selective coding. Following the steps of metasynthesis methods, the
principles extracted with major and minor titles principles and guidelines in the form of multilayered system architecture including
presentation layer, application layer, data layer, and technical infrastructure layer were classified. In the obtained framework,
15 indicators as the main principles and 66 subcriteria as the subsidiary principles for the design and technical architecture of
enterprise dashboards were identified.
