In order to maintain the sustainability so as to develop the new applications along with the designing of the new storage infrastructure, there is a need of analyzing the scope of the system in a proper way so as to provide assistance to the user for future use along with ensuring the elimination of the extra cost, need of extra technology as well as the constrains. The compliance standards are to be met along with the legacy components so as to develop an information system which is totally sustainable (Jones et al. 2014). The main criteria of success for the information system depends upon the server platform and the optimization of the system which is existing. Creation of the conceptual architecture has been done so as to identify the two major ways of interactions along with identifying the capabilities of the system. The new system is to be developed for a single enterprise and for this reason identification of the process of interactions need to be done, that exists between the Victorian state Government and the users (Abdelhak, Grostick and Hanken 2014). This in turn are used in order to formulate the policies and to create the information gateways which would be used for the purpose of managing the data that has been gathered in order to develop the new information system.
The usage of the data domain is done so as to manage the master the data service, unstructured metadata as well as the operational data. The accuracy of the information is very important because the information system is to be accessed form the remote locations and this is also needed so as to improve the performance that the government and the external constituents are having (Wager, Lee and Glaser 2017). There is a need of managing the information centrally so as to integrate the various kind of services and the interactions between the staffs and the users is to be monitored so as to secure the various services and the delivery channel that exists between the various services and the systems.

Developing a logical architecture of the entire information system would help in describing the technical functionalities which are needed for the purpose of delivering the functionalities along with the capabilities of the system so as to meet the meet the specific needs of the user and to obtain accurate results of the diagnosis from the information system (Kayser et al. 2015). Besides this identification of the existing terminology and the external systems are to be done so as to design the new infrastructure. Besides this the integration platform is to be developed so as to manage the various complexities of the information and to secure the data from any kind of external access. The management of applications would be helping in the integration of the third party applications and the services with the information system so as to perform in accordance to the requirements of the users (Nguyen, Bellucci and Nguyen 2014). The framework that is created for the development of the new information system is dependent upon the qualitative and the quantitative analysis of the provided case study and the factors that have been highlighted. The improvement factors are to be identified along with the incorporation of the continuous improvement plan so as to improve the new information system.
Sustainable theories are to be applied, which is followed by the evaluation of te importance of the health information system for the society so as to identify the various kind of deficiencies that exists in the current process of providing healthcare. The adaptation of the electronic healthcare system would be associated with providing assistance to the hospitals so as to improve the time taken for response and the time taken for eth purpose of circulating the medical information of the patients along with the reduction of cost required for the treatment (Lyon and Lewis 2016). There exists several models amongst which one is to be selected and this selection is based upon the rate of success of the model. By analyzing various models the McLean model has been selected as this is the best for developing the interdependent system. Various criteria are measured using this model and this includes the quality of service, desired characteristics and many more. Other major factors responsible for the success and sustainability of the system includes the easy to use and reliability of the system (Levesque et al. 2015).
Selection of a proper research method is to be done in order to identify the various technical barriers that are faced during eth implementation of the new health information system. Besides various successful examples and the ongoing projects are also analyzed in order to identify the requirements of the sustainable application that is going to be developed along with identifying the data storage infrastructure design that is required. Another major factor is the quality of the system responsible for the improvements in the efficiency (Ben-Assuli 2015). The systems workflow is to be identified depending upon the medical process so as to understand the procedure required for the treatment. After which the system is to be programed in accordance to the organizations requirements. Besides this the time required for response should be minimum and besides this it should also be associated with providing support to the medical practitioners and to reduce the complexities in the treatment (Waterson 2014).
Sustainable application and data storage infrastructure design
The services are to be integrated along with the platforms as this is one of the most important factor responsible for the success of the new information system that is to be adopted by the healthcare industry. It is very important to maintain the exchange of data along with the information so as to manage the workflow and the integration of the data. This is needed for the purpose of specifying the practical guidelines and for the purpose of managing the various kind of services that are essential for developing the new information system (Gray et al. 2016). The different departments of eth hospital are to be categorized as the functional module so as to isolate the functionality that the system is having along with distribution of the records related to medical health. In order to connect the servers and the portable devices located at various regions a separate distributed networking environment is to be created and this would help in integration of all this with the health services (Chen and Fu 2015). Recording of all the health data would be associated with assisting the medical health practitioners in diagnosis of the health conditions of the patients. Various kind of assisting services are to be developed which would be associated with assisting the patients during the usage of the electronic health record system which would be initially resulting in the elimination of the various kind of problems that are faced by them (Chambers, Feero and Khoury 2016). In order to develop the new system it is very important to have adequate technical knowledge and along with this the medical practitioners are also to be included during the development process.
Along with the above mentioned criteria’s it is also important to arrange personal interviews with the stakeholders of the system and besides this the aim of the system is also to be developed by evaluating the results of the interview. The resources are also to be estimated as this is one of eth important factor required for managing the information and developing the new healthcare application (Hicks et al. 2016). Followed by the estimation of the resources is the step which includes the prioritization of the resources according to their level of severity and after this a risk management plan is to be developed so as to mitigate the various kind of risks. The new system is to be developed into different sub systems which would be including the clinical management system, care management system, financial management, Supply management, information management, revenue management, Support Service and research and Training all this are to be integrated with each other in order to act as a single health information system (Wu et al. 2017). The resources would also be including the hardware and the software which are also to be identified so as to develop the new information system. Once all this components required for the development is identified the process of developing the system would start. Oracle g and Delphi is used as the programming language for the purpose of creating the database of the new information system. In order to format the data the system architect is used and this is followed by the usage of the dream weaver as the Web programming Language. The major factor responsible for the success of the new information system is the usability of the system and so the user interface of the new health information system should be made user friendly (Shah at al. 2016). It is essential to make sure of the fact that all the sub systems of the new information system are visible to the people who would be using the new information system and it should also be made sure that the users are capable of reaching all the functionalities (Kho et al. 2015). Besides this the sub system should be consisting of different type of user accounts like an admin account which would be consisting of the functionality of managing the supply and the financial data and an user account should also exists which would not be having the availability of managing the functions.
Logical architecture
The technological changes along with the strategic planning would be helping in the process of improving the efficiency of the treatment process and would be associated with offering various kind of services to the patients at low costs (Tilahun and Fritz 2015). The components which are to be included in the information system are to be identified and along with this creation of the high level description of this components should also be provided in order to develop the interfaces. All this components would be used for the purpose of retrieving the various kind of portals, services and this would be helping in increasing the efficiency of the treatment provided to the patients. Usage of the operational model would be helping in the process of management of the information flow and would also be responsible for connecting the various nodes in order to execute the functions of the software. Security is another important component which is to be included in the new system and for that reason various security services are to be used so as to authenticate and authorize the various kind of services provided by the system. Security services are also implemented in the various kind of applications present in the system (Gagnon, Lampron and Buyl 2016). This implementation of the security services would be associated with maintenance of a high level interaction between the user and the system. In the new system the network administrator would be associated with the management of various services along with managing the process of data transfer between the user and the system. It is to be made sure that the data that is being stored and transferred is accurate and consists of no error as this data acts as a crucial factor for an individual’s health. Besides this a unique condition is to be created that would be helping in the management of the structured and the unstructured data.
Conclusion:
The report help in concluding to the fact that for developing an electronic health information system all the constraints and the major barriers are to be identified. Besides this the management of interoperability that exists between the functional modules is also important as this helps in the maintenance of the sustainability of the project. Terminology system is to be applied that is responsible for making improvements in the system, and this is generally done by removal of the various kind of complexities that exists in the system. Identification of the system boundaries along with the structuring of the database is done by adaptation of various kind of visualization techniques and this also helps in the designing of the framework of the new information system. Various kind of problems arises during the functioning stage of the new system so all this problems are to identified which would be followed by the analysis of the problem. Once analysed certain techniques are to be adopted so as to mitigate all this problems. Security is another important feature which is to be includes in the new system so as to ensure high quality data without any kind of errors.
