Modeling Initiative, 2016). The purpose of CIMI is to
develop interoperable healthcare systems on a techni-
cal basis. The focus is not on the communication bet-
ween persons involved in the geriatric treatment. Ne-
vertheless links to this work are mandatory in future
work because geriatric treatment is cross-sectoral 3.4
and includes data and information from different IT
systems.
6.2 Outlook
The GIM was only validated with four typical know-
ledge processes in geriatric treatment. Referring to
previous studies of the authors (R
¨
olker-Denker and
Hein, 2015) (R
¨
olker-Denker et al., 2015b) there are
more knowledge processes to be mapped towards the
GIM.
The approach of HQ and low quality information
was not included in the GIM so far. There have been
no dedicated studies on the information quality in
daily geriatric treatment so far and, for thus, there are
no validated results available. There are studies for
general information quality, e.g. analyse the impact
of internet health information (Laugesen et al., 2015)
but there are no dedicated studies in the geriatric con-
text.
The GIM can be also used for identifying gaps in
the IT landscape (Snyder et al., 2011). Healthcare
organisations can check all the actor-relation-couples
and see if there are gaps.
