Question

The request is for requirements that would be used in a typical software development project. For this instance the software being developed would be for Information System that is managing patient records and healthcare data.

Develop a requirements specification with a minimum of 20 requirements. Define in very clear, detailed terms what your system does. While your overview might describe a website as allowing users to log in, a requirements document would take this down to much more detail. For example, “A user is allowed three login attempts” or “customer information will be saved in a database for up to 10 years if no activity occurs on this account.” More importantly, you will want requirements that define your functionality, such as “a user can access their account balance through a summary page and a detailed account page.” You could then have follow-up requirements that explain what a summary and detailed account page mean. Note that requirements might be nested: one could depend on a master requirement. Requirements should be numbered and ideally categorized (e.g., functional/nonfunctional, by interface, by purpose, etc.)

Please do so for the following stakeholder overview matrix. The software program would be for an Information system for managing patient records and healthcare data. No actual programming is needed

Stakeholder’s name	Objective	Possible conflicts	Criticality	How much time they can devote	Level of involvement	Impact on cost	Impact on functionality
Patient	To access personal health data	May provide biased or false information at times	High	Depends	High	Low	Medium
Health professional/Nurses	To file and manage patient’s health data and diagnostic	May make errors while feeding data to system	Medium	Full	Medium	Low	Medium
Doctor	To access, analyze patient’s data, suggest diagnostics , issue prescription etc.	May ignore certain symptoms thus making errors in diagnostics	High	Depends	High	High	High
Pharmacist	To access system to issue medicines as per prescription	May not understand prescription fully, thus leading to wrong issue of medicines	High	As and when require	Medium	High	High
Lab technician	To access patient’s health data, To feed results and details of lab tests etc.	May make errors while feeding data to system	Medium	Full	Medium	Low	Medium
Pathologist	To conduct and analyze lab tests, issue reports etc.	May ignore certain symptoms thus making errors in diagnostics	High	Depends	High	High	High

Answer 1

Functional Requirements:

- purpose

1) Add new account, which can add to categories of Patient, Health professional/Nurses, Doctors, Pharmacist, Lab technologist or pathologist.

2) Information for patient : Name, Contact(self, family), Age, BloodGroup, History(disease, allergies, etc).

3) For every doctor visit of the patient, the purpose, symptoms, diagnosis and prescription are required to be updated. If no medicines or drugs are subscribed, write the none.

4) Do not allow patients to delete/ alter their records. If they wish to wipe away their medical history, they can consult the doctor.

5) Everybody except patients are required to upload their original certificates to validate their degree and practice, apart from the information taken from patients.

6) Everybody except patients are given computer training to handle the software, use it.

7) if a patient gives his/her samples for testing in the pathology lab, they must be dated and the report generated after the test is also stamped. this is to see if the sample was fresh and fine for testing.

8) Generate bills and maintain ledger.

9) Also, keep track of the payments of the hospital staff, medical investments in machinery, medicines or medical equipment.

- design

8) Database in MySQL.

9) Support till Win 10

10) Local software, not web based to assure privacy.

11) Schedule emergencies and priority patients first. Rate the patient's emergencies and appoint accordingly.

Non Functional Requirements:

-security

1) To avoid misidentification or identity theft that patient may attempt to forge medical documents, the patient can open account only in presence of nursing staff. they can authenticate a new account with their id.

2) The patient is required to add a contact of their family. If the member stays out of town, he/she is required to add a local contact too in case of emergencies.

3) Identify patients by an ID so that sensitive information does not go to the lab technician or the anyone outside.  

4) Nurses are allowed to only view data and add patients. They cannot alter data.

-Performance

5) Till possible, the software should allocate/ appoint the same doctor to a patient that has treated them previously, for they know the patient well.

6) 1-3 seconds of response time

7) Designed to support till 10000 patients.

8) Data backup on the cloud every 4 hours.

9) All time available, no downtime allowed.
