Based on this, a strategy of reengineering the interface is defined, which alleviates the comprehension of the workflow. Detailed information is given on the implementation of the reengineering strategy, which consists of the establishment of the interface documentation, the used reengineering methods and patterns and the introduction of a logging system.All the performed improvements are validated by a installed test environment. Different regression tests prove the correct functionality of the reengineered interface. At the end of the book an overview of achieved and open goals as well as an outlook regarding future improvements of the HIS/RIS interface are given.
