Assessment 1

Task

Background:

The Commonwealth Government of Australia is launching ‘My Health Record' a secure online summary of an individual's health information.

Available to all Australians, My Health Record is an electronic summary of an individual's key health information, drawn from their existing records and is designed to be integrated into existing local clinical systems.

The ‘My Health Record' is driven by the need for the Health Industry to continue a process of reform to drive efficiencies into the health care system, improve the quality of patient care, whilst reducing several issues that were apparent from the lack of important information that is shared about patients e.g. reducing the rate of hospital admissions due to issues with prescribed medications. This reform is critical to address the escalating costs of healthcare that become unsustainable in the medium to long term.

Individuals will control what goes into their My Health Record, and who is allowed to access it. An individual's My Health Record allows them and their doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share the individual's health information to provide the best possible care.

*Please Note: This is a real project that has already been implemented, however, for this assessment you are to write your answer as if the project is in its' the early stages. There is wide variety of information that can be referenced on this topic.

Complete the Following

You are a Systems Analyst that is part of a project that is being currently being proposed, ‘My Health Record', your task is to develop a Vision Document for this project.

Currently funding is being sought to build the ‘My Health Record' system. We will assume that the funding has been approved and that you are the business systems analyst assigned to the project.

You are to describe the problem in your own words, and the capabilities and benefits. You need to create a Project Vision Document which contains:

• Problem
• Capabilities
• Benefits

Specific analysis techniques have not been taught yet, so this assignment does not require technical descriptions.

Rationale

This assignment has been designed to allow students to test and demonstrate their topic understanding related to:

• the context of an information system;
• the processes in systems analysis;
• the approaches in systems analysis

Assessment 2

Task

Background

Refer to background information provided in Assessment 1 regarding the Commonwealth Government ‘My Health Record' project.

Complete the Following

Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.

Consider that funding has been approved for a project to build a system that will capture the ‘story' the first time it is told, and give access to successive professionals, so that case notes and the story can become enriched, and the young person can be assisted more appropriately. You are the business systems analyst assigned to the project, you will need to produce:

Stakeholder map

• Draw stakeholder role names on a stakeholder map with 4 quadrants, Internal-Operation, Internal-Executive, External-Operation, External-Executive

• For each stakeholder, describe why they have an interest in the project.

Questionnaire

Create one questionnaire that you would send to one stakeholder group with an aim to help you identify further details about the environment, the problem area and/or how the system would operate to help solve the problem.

• Identify which stakeholder you are going to send the questionnaire to
• Write an introduction statement that would go with the questionnaire explaining the purpose of the questionnaire
• Write 10 questions, either open and/or closed ended questions
• This should be written as a questionnaire that could be distributed
• Only write the questions, you should not write the answers

Use Case diagram and descriptions

• Draw a use case model for the information system
• Write brief Use Case description for each Use Case in the diagram
• Write one fully developed Use Case description for one of the important Use Cases identified. Select an important Use Case that is key part of the system, not a basic simple Use Case.

Rationale

This assessment has been designed to allow students to test and demonstrate their topic understanding related to:

• apply stakeholder analysis for of an information system;
• describe and apply requirements gathering techniques;
• define functional requirements

Assessment 3

Task

Further Background

Refer to background information provided in Assessment 1 regarding the Commonwealth Government ‘My Health Record' project.

The project is considering cloud based solutions which should be investigated. Consider various aspects of cloud based solutions such as; data security, which includes data ownership (by Department of Health, the young person, medical professionals, the Emergency Department etc). As well as other relevant aspects of cloud solutions.

Complete the Following

Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.

Non-Functional Requirements

• This sets out the critical system qualities, system interfaces, user interface requirements, and system constraints.

• Use to ‘FURPS+' acronym as reference, and ensure you at cover the non-functional aspects of the acronym, Usability, Reliability, Performance and Security.

Review of cloud based.

A review of strengths and weaknesses of cloud based solutions. Taking into consideration the environment which the solution would be deployed.

SDLC Approach

Write brief description of the Pros and Cons to approaching the project using the ‘Predictive' SDLC, then the Pros and Cons to approach the project as ‘Adaptive' SDLC. Then recommend either Predictive or Adaptive to the SDLC for the project and briefly describe why.

Rationale

This assignment is intended to develop and test your ability to research information system relevant issues. As well as develop requirement information. Also to consider the appropriate approach depending on criteria of Information System solution.
