HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT

The document lists the following features as the high-level requirements that the Hospital Patient Management System will satisfy:
y y y y y y

Work Scheduling assigning nurses to doctors and doctors to patients Admissions - Admitting patients, assigning the patients to appropriate wards Patient Care - Monitoring patients while they are in the hospital Surgery Management - Planning and organizing the work that surgeons and nurses perform in the operating rooms Ward Management - Planning and coordinating the management of wards and rooms Waiting list: Monitoring to see if there are any patients waiting for available beds, assigning them to doctors and beds once these become available. Purpose The purpose of this document is to describe all the requirements for the Hospital Patient Management System (HPMS). The intended audience includes all stakeholders in the potential system. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: administrative staff, doctors, nurses, surgeons and developers. Scope The proposed software product is the Hospital Patient Management System (HPMS). The system will be used to allocate beds to patients on a priority basis, and to assign doctors to patients in designated wards as need arises. Doctors will also use the system to keep track of the patients assigned to them. Nurses who are in direct contact with the patients will use the system to keep track of available beds, the patients in the different wards, and the types of medication required for each patient. The current system in use is a paper-based system. It is too slow and cannot provide updated lists of patients within a reasonable timeframe. Doctors must make rounds to pick up patients treatment cards in order to know whether they have cases to treat or not. The intentions of the system are to reduce over-time pay and increase the number of patients that can be treated accurately. Requirements statements in this document are both functional and non-functional.
