Abstract

Computer applications that collect, organize, interpret, and/or deliver biomedical data and information have been a critical component of biomedical informatics from the beginning of the field. Software applications are often the mechanism whereby advances in the field become activated. As the variety, complexity and breadth of the software tools have changed, considerations about the process and scope of software development has also evolved. Prominent among this evolution has been the development of electronic health records. With the movement of EHRs to predominantly purchased solutions, software engineering has adapted to new approaches that are supporting continued customized software development.
