Abstract

Stakeholder requirements for health care information systems cannot be defined purely objectively. Instead they are influenced by personal and social factors. In this paper, we present preliminary insights into one such factor, namely personal values. Based on work from psychology, we have developed first instruments to elicit personal values and their relationships to software requirements by interviewing nurses and physicians. We report on these instruments and the results of applying them in two small case studies.
