1 Introduction
Patient management system is developed for computerizing hospital to manage patient details effectively. This patient management system will save time and will provide instant service. This system have details of every patient, pharmacy and doctor they consulted and diseases they are suffering. Patient management systems is very necessary in hospitals these days to run the functions of hospital smoothly. To keep all patient records on paper is very bulky and mistake inclined. And this process is not very efficient and time consuming also. Recording and keeping up all these records is very untrustworthy. It is likewise not monetarily & in fact doable to keep up these records on paper.

Planning has two phase project initiation and project management.
Analysis
After planning stage second stage is analysis of system. This stage has information about propose system that what will use of system and what are the functions of systems. Analysis is done on the base of current system.
Design
After analysis design stage comes which is development of propose system. Because this will decide how system will work in terms of hardware and software.
Implementation
After the development of system next stage is implementation of developed system. This is longest phase which involves installation of system and establish support plan for system.
4.1 Waterfall methodology
In waterfall development analysts and users move forward sequentially from one stage to another. It is also known as linear sequential model. This type of methodology is normally used for small project. The waterfall model is a popular version of the systems development life cycle model for software engineering. It is basic approach to the system development life cycle. In this methodology each phase has goals to achieve once it is completed then each phase is reviewed whether project is in right way and then move forward to next phase and there is no return

• This waterfall model is not suitable for long and ongoing projects.
• It is not very suitable for those projects where requirements are keep on changing.
• There has no production of working software during SDLC.
• Using this methodology can be costly also because if any failure occurs then have to check and update the whole system from document to until implementation.
5 System Analysis
System analysis is a process of gathering right information, comprehend the techniques included, identifying problems and suggesting attainable recommendations for enhancing the system functions. This includes contemplating the business methodologies, gathering operational information, comprehend the data stream, figuring out bottlenecks and developing answers for defeating the shortcomings of the system to accomplish the hierarchical objectives. It is also called requirement analysis.
5.1 Existing
You would look at how the various departments might receive a new central ordering system and how costly the new system would be relative to improving each of these individual systems. 1. Analysis In the analysis phase, identified requirements of the system will be gathered. You want to conduct an examination on a specific problem that is being addressed or expectations of a particular system that has been told by a client.
iv. Which activities will be done in this phase? 1. Backup old system. 2.
Many healthcare organizations had to implement an electronic health records system (EHR) to meet certain guidelines set forth by the government. This was a technology that the clinic implemented years ago to meet the needs of the patient, the requirements of the insurance companies, lean processes, and government regulations. This software helped also look for opportunities to treat our patients better and track data for population health. HG Clinic is investing in a new billing system that will allow them to track patient data better and improved billing process. These are just examples of opportunities that the clinic implemented and are continuously evaluating their current software and equipment and looking for opportunities for
Since its startup in 2005 its mission to disrupt the slow moving world of health care by providing a free service of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to doctors and their facilities. This system will benefit doctors by cutting down cost, decrease medical errors, decrease mishandled or forgotten messages. It will help the overall goal of medical errors. It improves accuracy through record legibility and record
UNIT MQQ 553–QUALITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT LECTURER NAME: Benu Chatterjee TOPIC NAME Risk Management and Quality Improvement in Health Care Submission Date: 20th Nov 2014 Student Name: Bushra Zafar Student ID: 876036 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 Evaluation 5 Quality Nursing Care 5 Qualitative Measures 6 Risk Management Plan and Quality Improvement Plan 7 Conclusion 9 Bibliography 10 Executive Summary Introduction Quality improvement efforts and risk management are complementary, and together are key modules of clinical governance. Risk management reinforces quality management in healthcare. This leads to: • Improvement in quality and patient safety • Improvement in efficiency through productivity
Activity 1 highlights the types of staff access available within the hospital, including security access, technology restrictions and the different roles access can alter and how it can affect health information data, which is used for hospital funding, employment, resource budgeting, purchase of information systems and the differing types of treatment provided by the hospital. Hospital data attained from hospital health information systems can often present accuracy problems as errors with admission paperwork, coding information, medication and procedure documentation are often written inaccurately, staff are encouraged to actively minimise and reduce errors with appropriate maintenance, automatic error reporting and access restrictions to
The healthcare industry generates a great amount of data every day, as a form of record keeping, patient care, compliance, and regulatory requirements. Just a decade ago, all this data was stored in the form of hard copy form, now it is rapidly transforming to digital data which is called EMR (Electronic Medical Record). The digitalization of the healthcare has not just reduced cost of care, but also improved quality of care due to the abundance data that organizations receive from the EMR to identify the flaws in their system. I work in the healthcare industry where improving quality of care is our primary goal. We use software called eCW , which is an integrated system.
Requirements Gathering – 4 weeks This is the investigative stage of the project. which involved conception, initiation and analysis of the problem. Design phase – 3 weeks This stage involves translating the requirements from the previous stage into detailed designs that address them.
Depending on the type of office and the patients there in, will determine what electronic health system you will need. Some doctors have patients that need a high level of care and lots of tests and other documented information, like cardiology. Other offices might be able to use a simple program because they don 't have many patients or the patients they do have don 't require extensive documentation. You have to consider the amount of time you may, or may not have to train the staff and get all the information transferred. Once the needs of the facility are determined, it is then important to decide on a system that will coincide.
Iterative and incremental approach is a better way of developing requirements and modules as well. 4. Requirements provide a complete operating picture of the solution, which helps in taking correct decisions during initial stages of software development life cycle (SDLC). Iterative and Incremental Approach This approach allows us to make changes before it is too late.
Explain your recommendation. Since most of the functionality is known for this application and there are few moving parts, I would recommend using the traditional waterfall approach. I base this decision on the following factors: 1. The system is of low to medium complexity and most of the functionality can be achieved through well- documented and widely-used technologies. Hence, the design of the application could factor in most of these technologies and the development team could come up with a more detailed and finalized approach for the system.
The good interaction between care providers and service users with the exchanging of information about conditions and diagnosis of clients is eased by using IT. For example, when accepting any resident who are being signed off by any of the hospitals, we receive all the history of the patient from the hospital in order to continue to take care about him adequately This happens by sending health record describing past and present condition, treatment which are being prescribed and advices. All this information is kept confidential and it forbidden for anyone to share any private information of clients to anyone. IT helps us follow carefully all appointments with GP, hospitals.
Electronic health record (EHR) system transformed the health care system from a paper based industry to one that uses clinical information to provide higher quality of care to the patients by providers. Electronic medical records have many benefits in clinical, organizational and societal outcomes. Clinical outcomes includes improvements in the quality of care and reduction of medical errors. Organizational outcomes include, financial and operational performance as well as higher satisfaction among patients and clinicians. Societal outcomes include, conduct research and attain improved population health.
This approach centers on people, communications, the anticipated product and its flexibility. The concept of this approach is similar to that of the traditional management approach: generating plans and requirements, evolving the anticipated product, incorporating it with other products as required then testing it and debugging technical hitches if any is found, then lastly fitting it for use (Rose, 2010). In this approach, as a replacement for focusing on the phases all at once like it is done in the traditional approach, the entire project is fragmented into smaller segments known as scrums after which the scrums are taken as smaller projects and dealt with according to the traditional
It is important to emphasize that these challenges were brought about by poorly defined goals and the scope was usually unclear. This meant the projects usually tended to go beyond the estimates as the project developers tried to fix newly developed ideas in to the development process. the phase gate model was developed to give an outline of the project development process to offer solutions for managing newly launched
