1.  Introduction

 
1.1    Purpose
 
The purpose of this document is to describe the requirements for the Hospital Patient Info Management System (HPIMS).  The intended audience includes all stakeholders in the potential system. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: Administrative Staff,   patients and developers. 

Developers should consult this document and its revisions as the only source of requirements for the project. They should not consider any requirements statements, written or verbal as valid until they appear in this document or its revision.
 
1.2              Scope
 
The proposed software product is the Hospital Patient Info Management System (HPIMS). The system will be used to get the information from the patients and then storing that data for future  usage. 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.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.

1.5 Overview
 
This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is the requirements work product that formally specifies Hospital Patient Info Management System (HPIMS). It includes the results of both business analysis and systems analysis efforts. Various techniques were used to elicit the requirements and we have identified your needs, analyzed and refined them. The objective of this document therefore is to formally describe the system’s high level requirements including functional requirements, non-functional requirements and business rules and constraints. The detail structure of this document is organized as follows: 

Section 2 of this document provides an overview of the business domain that the proposed Hospital Patient Info Management System (HPIMS) will support. These include a general description of the product, user characteristics, general constraints, and any assumptions for this system. This model demonstrates the development team's understanding of the business domain and serves to maximize the team's ability to build a system that truly does support the business.
Section 3 presents the detail requirements, which comprise the domain model.
 
 

2.  General Description

 
2.1 Product Perspective
 
This Hospital Patient Info Management System is a self-contained system that manages activities of the hospital as Patient Info. Various stakeholders are involved in the hospital patient info system.
 
2.2 Product Functions
 
The system functions can be described as follows:
 
Registration: When a patient is admitted, the front-desk staff checks to see if the patient is already registered with the hospital. If he is, his/her Personal Health Number (PHN) is entered into the computer.  Otherwise a new Personal Health Number is given to this patient. The patient’s information such as date of birth, address and telephone number is also entered into computer system.
 
 
Patient check out. If a patient checks out, the administrative staff shall delete his PHN from the system and the just evacuated bed is included in available-beds list. 

Report Generation:  The system generates reports on the following information: List of detailed information regarding the patient who ha admitted in the hospital
 
2.3 User Characteristics
 
The system will be used in the hospital. The administrators,front-desk staff will be the main users. Given the condition that not all the users are computer-literate. Some users may have to be trained on using the system. The system is also designed to be user-friendly. It uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
 
 
Front-desk staff:
They all have general reception and secretarial duties. Every staff has some basic   computer training. They are responsible for patient’s check-in or notification of appropriate people .
 
Administrators:
They all have post-secondary education relating to general business administration practices. Every administrator has basic computer training. They are responsible for all of the scheduling and updating day/night employee shifts.
 
. 2.4 General Constraints
 
  • The system must be delivered by January 1st 2011. 
  • The existing Telecommunication infrastructure is based on IEEE100802.3 standards and the system must conform to this standard using category 5 cables for networking 
  • The system must be user-friendly 
2.5 Assumptions and Dependencies
      
·        It is assumed that one hundred IBM compatible computers will be available before the system is installed and tested.
·        It is assumed that the Hospital will have enough trained staff to take care of the system
