Abstract

Abstract At present, there are many Information Systems Development methodologies. However, we have to select the suitable one related to the problems. This paper presents an implementation of the Dynamic Systems Development Methodology (DSDM) and Object-Oriented (OO) as two combine methods to develop an application of billing in a mental hospital (study case in Indonesia). The application allows the management of the mental hospitals to control and evaluate patient services, and it supports decision-makers for improving the organization. Based on literature studies, we obtained the suitable two methods for DSDM adjusted to the resources, the time frame, the goals, and the required functionality. Meanwhile OO is a highly iterative approach. Data results of the interviews, questionnaires, observations, and artifacts were analyzed according to the user requirement process. The study can be concluded that DSDM and OO method is effective in developing an application. The paper depicted problems in facts finding.
