COIT20248 Information Systems Analysis and Design Assignment 1 - About Systems Development Objectives This assessment relates to unit learning outcomes 1, and 4 stated in the e-unit profile. Assessment 1 is an individual assessment. In assessment 1, you are assigned tasks which assess your unit knowledge gained between weeks 1 and 5 about different facets of systems development. All students are required to write a report showing the answers to the questions in tasks 1-5 below. Please note that ALL submitted Assignment-reports are passed through a computerized copy detection system and it is extremely easy for teaching staff to identify copied or otherwise plagiarised work. • Copying (plagiarism) can incur penalties ranging from deduction of marks to failing the course or even exclusion from the University. • CQUniversity values academic honesty and integrity, and demands ethical behaviour in all aspects of academic endeavours. The University investigates and deals with incidents of misconduct among its student community and by former students in a consistent manner, affording natural justice, and deciding outcomes and penalties that are appropriate, fair and just. • Please ensure you are familiar with the Academic Misconduct Procedures, available from: https://www.cqu.edu.au/policy The tasks For the purpose of this assignment, you are assumed to be one of the software consultants appointed to shoulder the system analysis responsibilities in, the project outlined in, the case study. You will plan and manage the project as well as investigate and document its system requirements. For your Assignment 1 submission, you will produce a report that discusses this project based on your understanding of it and the related investigation results through the tasks below. Task 1: (10 marks) Approaches to Systems Development • How would you go about developing Hospital Information System? Compare different Software Development approaches to consider the best suited for developing HIS. (5 Marks) • Justify the choice of your selected approach to systems development.

Help To help student members communicate, forums have been created for your use on the course Moodle website for Assessments 1 and 2. Please use them to help you work through your report. Alternatively, you can take help from Academic Learning Centres (ALC). We have advisers situated in Academic Learning Centres at many CQUniversity locations and offer generic group sessions, course specific workshops, individual appointments, drop in centres, and print and online resources. ALC provide range of services which include: • workshops online and on-campus (see our Moodle site for details) • online review of assignments • online query • one-on-one appointments in person, over the phone or online via Zoom https://moodle.cqu.edu.au/course/view.php?id=1497 Assessment criteria - Assignment 1 marking guide Marks for Assignment 1 will be allocated as follows: TOPIC Weight Mark Introduction (5 marks) Clearly defines the aims of the report Identifies the project objectives. 2.5 2.5 Approach to Systems Development - Task 1 (10 Marks) How would go about developing HIS? • • Justify your choice of approach to systems development. 5 5 Systems Requirements - Task 2 (15 Marks) What are the primary functional requirements for the system in the case study?

COIT20248 – Information Systems Analysis & Design (Term 1, 2019) Case Study for Assignment 1 & Assignment 2 Designing Hospital Information Systems A Hospital Information System (HIS) basically is a synonym for information management system at use in hospitals. Hospitals generate a wealth of data round the clock, 365 days a year, all of which needs to be well managed to ensure efficient functioning. Patients visit such as establishments for outpatient care in an emergency, or get admitted for either a short stay (a few hours) or long in duration (that may sometimes be indefinite). The recent trend sees a growing emphasis on improving overall efficiency and clinical management. Important HIS Aspects to Consider Requirements Management In the requirements gathering phase, one should undertake an as-is study exercise to perform a comprehensive impact analysis of all business processes in order to identify the ones that will be affected by having the new system in place and the way this will occur. The various business processes that exist, the stakeholders involved and the systems / applications currently being used within the establishment that would be affected, albeit to varying degrees. Once this has been finalised and agreed upon, a requirements analysis followed by documentation needs to be prepared. Once finalised, the software requirement specification and functional design documents should be prepared with proper functional architecture in place. These should be signed-off by the competent authorities on both the customer and the vendor sides. The documents should then be turned over to the system design team for further action to ensure that the required system is delivered as per the specifications. General Requirements– An Overview Generally, the system should be safe and secure from a data management point-of-view. Highly sensitive data is handled by such systems and hence the comfort-level related to privacy and safety issues need to be addressed aggressively. The system should ensure efficient flow of information that provides interdepartmental support to the establishment, functional and process integration, be adaptable and flexible from a user perspective, and last, but not the least, be
