Stakeholder Map
Health is one of the primary pillars that ensures success of a country and to attain it the government have introduced a healthcare program for the rural areas (Wade, Jeffrey, & Len, 2014). Telehealth is the program launched by the government to improve the accessibility of quality healthcare in the rural public health and hospitals services. The primary aim is to develop communication channel between the healthcare professionals and the needful individuals and entities of rural areas (Jang-Jaccard, Surya, Leila, & Jane, 2014). It will provide healthcare services and education to the young trainees. To attain the objective a system is proposed and the discussed report aims to guide through the process. The stakeholders map and use case diagram and description has been presented to support the system analysis.
