Advanced Hospital Management System

Technical feasibility refers to the organization’s ability to construct the proposed system (Valacich, 2009). Hoosier Burger needs to evaluate the hardware, software, and operating environments that may be used to accomplish their project. They must ensure there is adequate space within the restaurant and the employees have the capability to operate the new equipment or software.

The use of technology in HIM department works out well and effectively. Each patient who is new is assigned a unique medical record number and it always remains the same for the patient each time he/she want to get health care from this health care system. Another system

In order to eliminate the inefficiencies witnessed in many public and private hospitals that serve a number of patients, an integrated approach to handling the daily workload is necessary. There is need for all departments within the hospital to work closely together in ensuring more effective and efficient service deliveries. In this paper, a planned change is going to be carried out involving designing a new system that incorporates all the departments within the hospital. This includes the surgery department, pediatrics department, dentistry department, nursing department, pharmacy departments, laboratory and testing department, X-ray and Physiotherapy departments, Equipment maintenance and Engineering department, Information Technology

Examination of the types of database systems that are available and how health care facilities utilize these different types of databases is the topic of this report. Giving more detail on the different types of architecture of databases and data structure will follow.

The initial cost of the project will be the sum of the development, project administration, implementation, and financing functions. Development cost include IT system design, process planning, and feasibility analysis. Hardware upgrades, software development, infrastructure improvements are included in the implementation costs. Administration expenditures cover other costs such as training, furniture, network infrastructure, utilities, and insurance. Kudler expects to use this system for a prolonged period of time; therefore, the cost of the life cycle will need to be calculated also. Furthermore, the benefits of worker productivity gain, expenditure decrease, and employee utilization gains will also be calculated in the economic feasibility analysis. Once the initial cost of the project is determined, feasibility can be determined on the economic level. According to article, “Implementation: The operational feasibility perspective”, operational feasibility will be achieved if the following steps are followed. Step 1, managers and employee negative perceptions of change must be addressed openly. Step 2, positive factors for change must be reinforced. Step 3, the highest stress should be dealt with first. Step 4, change must start at the top of the organization. Step 5, informal and formal lines of communication should be used. All managers and workers should be involved or represented in the design.

Technical feasibility examines the company’s ability to successfully construct the proposed system. The project team must analyze whether the organization has the appropriate knowledge and skills needed for completion of the system. Hardware, software, and other system requirements must be addressed and the team must determine if the company is technologically inclined to proceed with the project with the current technology.

A thorough feasibility analysis needs to include a number of dimensions to assure that the company accounts for all of its

The implementation of correct systems required a team including expert leader’s approach. Effective communications between leaders of Doctor’s Medical Center, end users, the vendors, and the department staff is important when collecting data. For data transfer, authority need to assure that the new system communicate with the existing system. The administrative leaders guide the project activities, data protocol collection, clearly understand roles and responsibilities, and set up policy and procedure. Leader guide the staff to pursue the desire to achieve the goal. In

Full implementation should be completed in six months. The boundaries are the human resource system. Crossing over into design or inclusion of other departments such as accounting or sales would be out of scope. The business requirements are that the system is to be a single system instead of the multiple tools they are using now. The other business requirement is more vague, only stating that they would like to take advantage of more sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology. Project feasibility is determining if the technical, economical, and operational factors of the project can be accomplished under the schedule given. Technical looks at what hardware and software are available compared to what the requirements of the project are. Economic compares the cost of the overall project to what is budgeted and what can be justified by potential financial returns. Operational factors examine if the system will receive support from the people that use it and make it work (“System Development Life Cycle”, 1998).

Health care providers as well as nurses must keep track of all pertinent patient information and failure to do so leads to detrimental effect on the patient's life. CIS clinical information systems are "large, computerized database management systems that support several types of activities that include physician order entry, result retrieval, documentation and decision support". CIS is intended to replace medical records department of a hospital or any other medical institution. Physicians and clinicians can safely and quickly access information, order medication and treatments and implement appropriate care. CIS will hopefully improve productivity, increase quality care and reduce costs across the organization.

Currently, the healthcare industry only spends 2% of gross revenues on health information technology, while the banking industry spends upwards of 10%. However, the Veterans Healthcare System is one of the largest integrated systems in the world. One hundred fifty-five hospitals and eight hundred clinics rely on one electronic health system (Gupta & Murtaza, 2009). Implementing information systems in hospitals is more challenging than elsewhere because of the complexity of medical data, data entry problems, security and confidentiality concerns and a general lack of awareness of the benefits of Information Technology (Boonstra et al., 2014). The newly implemented system must be reliable from the onset as patient care does not cease in the meantime. Technology has the potential to streamline current practices and reduce costs, however, hospitals must consider the potential risks and consequences of a poorly implemented project and agree that failure is not an option. Good project planning and management can assure success of Electronic Health Record

•Implement all Riordan's current and future information into the new systemFeasibility of the ProjectThe feasibility of the project will be determined by many factors. These factors include1.Does Riordan have enough experience to use newer technology2.Will the new system allow for efficient, effective, and cost

There are some assumptions made by university health care system in its implementation that the common advantages of using a computerized system would obviously work to their own advantage. Users of the system make a great impact to the existence of the same. It is imperative to consider old data that is supposed to be fed to the system in order to make it efficient while updating the rest of information. Self evaluation process is recommendable to the system by the Information Technology experts. The human interface of the system should be included by the evaluation team. This will include two psychologists. The above aspects should be considered by a team of analysts before they conclude on whether the project does or does not

Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.

For a medium-sized urban hospital with 160 beds and 1,500 associates to be able to gain the trust and confidence of patients and compete with mega-hospitals in the healthcare industry, the management of the hospital would have to explore new technologies that would enhance the quality of services and patient care rendered to customers. Further, to ensure that all the departments in the hospitals such as ICUs, mother & baby, emergency services, radiology, oncology, surgery, and operating room (OR) would have to function efficiently and improve the patient experience. New EMR application would improve the security of patient’s information and ensure timely retrieval of medical records such that the quality of diagnosis would be enhanced significantly. As the IT director, it is my responsibility to make sure that the hospital system has a robust IT network that would enable efficient information flow within
