Development of a Resident Practice Profile in a Business Intelligence Application Framework

Abstract In recent years, practice profile applications have started to appear that allow medical practitioners to log their experiences electronically to provide feedback in the form of reports. This paper presents a case study in which a Resident Practice Profile application was developed using a Business Intelligence application framework that flexibly integrates user interfaces and reporting while minimizing the labour required for application coding. The methodology used in the case was iterative action based research in which three different frameworks were used and compared in terms of their effectiveness for developing a practice profile application. As well, the Resident Practice Profile application was compared to two similar practice profile applications from the literature.
