Background
This report is concerned with the development of the Information System for the healthcare system in Australia (Britt et al. 2013). The New Century Wellness Group is trying to adopt an approach for the healthcare so that they can provide preventive medicines and as well as traditional type of medical care to the patients. The company wants me to develop the new Information system and perform the role of IT consultant.
The report provides the details about the development of the information system and the various types of discussions related to it. The background and the requirements provided by the organization are provided in the report. In addition to this the context diagram of different levels for the system and the feasibility study for the justification of the system development is provided in the report.
The information system that is to be developed by the New Century’s should be interfacing with the 12 Australian Health Insurance providers. This would enable cost efficient measures for the organization and also this would the patients to get diagnosed and regular check up more efficiently and also with less cost. The new system would be more convenient for the doctors and as well as the patients.
There are two types of requirements for every system (Bloom et al. 2016). They are the functional requirements and the non-functional requirements for the information system.
The functional requirements for the information system of the New Century’s Wellness Group are:
- The system should be able to provide the daily appointment list for the providers
- The system should be able to provide the entire details about the patients.
- The system should also be able to provide details about the appointments.
- The system should be able to maintain the daily report of the call lists.
- The weekly charges generated and the profit distribution data for the partners are to be provided by the information system.
- The system should also be able to provide the monthly patient statements and this would include various types of details such as the patients name, services performed, and the appointment times.
- The system should also be able to provide the Weekly Insurance Company Report
- The monthly Claim Status Summary for the organization should also provided by the information system.
In addition to the functional the non-functional requirements or the system are:
- The system should be reliable so that patients can easily depend on the system and also they would be sure about their data not getting affected.
- The system should make sure that the data integrity is maintained and the complex data in the systems are maintained in a simplified manner so that there are no errors such as data redundancy and data duplicity.
- The security of the system should also be maintained since the system would involve large amount of data various type of healthcare organizations in Australia.
The fact finding methods that are used for gathering information about the development of the system are:
Document sampling is the method where the analysts collect all the related documents for the system (Bush and Lemke 2016). In this project the system the documents about the requirement for the system are to be analyzed and all the processes that are used for the implementation of the system could be well documented and used for analysis.
The questionnaires can be another form of data collection that can be used for the fact-finding method (McGuirk and O’Neill 2016). The patients and the staffs for the organizations can be subjected to a set of questionnaires that would provide the information about the satisfaction level for the system.
The use cases can be used for the description of the system and hence, functionalities of the systems would be well documented and hence they would be very useful for the users.
For the feasibility study of the system the following studies can be performed on the system.
For calculating the economic feasibility of the system that is designed an economic feasibility is calculated. This calculation is purely based on assumption however the study shows that the cumulative NPV for the system is positive and hence the system can be very easily considered to be economically feasible.

For the functional feasibility the system is to be checked and made sure that it performs all the mentioned functions by the systems (Lorincz et al. 2015). The functional requirements stated earlier in this report should be satisfied by the system.
System Requirements
The system should be performing all the required tasks as mentioned by the organization and should benefit the overall efficiency of the businesses of the organization. The system should be satisfying all the required non-functional requirements as stated by the organization and hence the technological feasibility will be met.
The system should be implemented within the required time by the organizations and the project milestones must meet the required timeline set by the organization and hence the schedule feasibility for the system can be met easily.
There are two data stores in the DFD. They are:
Patient’s data store: The Patient data store is the database of the Wellness Centre that stores all the data about the patients.
Insurance company data store: The Insurance company data store stores all the data regarding the insurances of the patients.
