Project Vision Document:

Project Title:

Implementation of My Health Record System in Australia

Project Description:

The purpose of the project is to deliver an information system called My Health Record

to the Commonwealth Government of Australia. The government will integrate the system into

every single clinical system. In terms of carrying out the project successfully, the project will

consist of several phases called requirement gathering, design, implementation, testing and

deployment. The project will deliver a system that can provide the data stored in the clinical

systems to the doctors and patients.

Deliverable:

The deliverable of the project is as following.

i. A system that can collect data from various health care systems
ii. A system that can connect all the clinical systems
iii. A system that can prevent the cyber attacks
iv. Delivering the My Health Record Information System

Functionalities:

Registration and Secure Login: The system will register the users in its own database

and provide secure login if the id and password matches.

Data collection: One of the major functionality is collecting data.

Data represent: Providing the data into the users screen.

Technologies:

Cloud: The system will store the data collected from the clinical systems temporarily.

Software Platform: The system will be implemented on specific software platforms.

Target Audience:

The target audience of the system is the patients and the healthcare centers of Australia.

Problems:

It is common in information system development to face issues at the beginning, during

and end of the project. The issues that may appear in this My Health Record project are as

following.

Securing against cyber attacks: As the frequency of the cyber attacks are increasing each

year, the project team must be able to configure the system in such a way that it can prevent the

cyber attacks. The system can be hacked through getting access to any clinical system.

Data presentation: The system is responsible for gathering data from the clinical system

and provide it to the users through the application. Different systems consist of different

databases and creating the system to fetch data from all the databases regardless of its database

platform is a big issue.

Capabilities:

Setting communication between various clinical systems: The system will be able to

establish a connection among all the clinical systems that are available in the Australia. The

communication will so strong that the other clinical systems can retrieve the data of the patient

from other system in a matter of second.

Handling authorization: Providing authorization rights on a system that depends on the

data of the other systems is a strong aspect for any information system.

Benefits:

The benefits that the users will receive from the system are as following.

Improved healthcare: The system will provide the advantage of gathering the patient

past treatment associated data easily and accurately.

Reduce treatment cost: The patient do not need to do the same tests again and again if

they visit the new doctor.

Better decision making: As the doctors will be able to see all the past treatment

processes and health records of the patient, they can take the treatment associated decisions

easily.
