Fabrizio Pecoraro is a researcher at the Italian National Research Council Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS-CNR), mainly working in research on health and society. Thanks to his skills in computer engineering, he is part of the medical informatics group where his main research field is the analysis, design, and development of information systems in healthcare. He pays particular attention to the issues related to the continuity of care and the integration of primary, secondary, and hospital care with social assistance in complex cases. In detail, he deals with: 1) use of modeling languages, such as UML and BPMN for the representation of AS-IS and TO-BE business processes; 2) the definition of conceptual models for the analysis and description of application domains, behavior and structure of software systems; 3) logical design and implementation of relational databases and repositories of clinical documents, and 4) application of standards for the representation of clinical data such as HL7 and CDISC for the acquisition, exchange, storage, and integration of data produced in the healthcare context.
