Introduction

Advancement in technology and the flexible use of information technology (IT) are the great motives towards an integrated service approach in various facilities. This integration is a great enabler of efficient service offering, swift responses and quality functions within the institutions.

As these qualities reflect the needs of a medical facility, it can be confirmed that IT is pertinent to services offered to patients. In developed nations, acquisition of technology is much easier and also a requirement for its use in service provision.

This motive is behind the establishment of the following proposed project. There is a dire need to ensure that IT is adopted in all facilities that offer services and especially the vital ones like medical centers.

Addressing non-functional requirements

When addressing non-functional requirements, an evaluation of their impacts is necessary. The extent of the impacts can be used as a guide to address the requirements. Apparently, security and privacy considerations are of paramount importance to both the users of the system and regulators.

These will be addressed by communicating the measures that are in place to the affected parties before the implementation starts. About legal considerations, the project team will seek recommendation from the relevant regulatory bodies prior to implementation.

To address IT compliance issues, the project must involve proficient individuals in various areas affected by the system right from the start and ensure that they are working together towards the same goal.

Addressing environment sustainability requirements compels the team to adopt environmental protection strategies and use environmental friendly materials where applicable. Other special requirements will be addressed through stakeholder involvement in the implementation process.

Constraints and assumptions

Constraints

The effort depends on voluntary participation by many agencies
There is no defined budget for this project
The project will take on within the limits of prioritized functional requirements
Once approved, the next milestone will be actual implementation

Assumptions

The projects is approved by the necessary bodies
Participants will proceed to support team involvement
More specific team obligation levels will be described in the project plan

Cost benefit analysis

Benefits	Amount ($000)
Increased quality of services	35
Increased output from employees	20
More patients	25
Low number of employees	2
Others	5
Total benefits	87

Costs	Amount ($000)
Hardware purchase	10
Software purchases	5
Internet	0.5
Staff training	5
Maintenance	1
Total costs	21.5

Development release schedule

Net benefits = Total benefits – total costs = $87,000 – $21,500 = $65,500

Conclusion

The IT system pilot project is motivated by the need to integrate technology in service institutions. The system is a patient centered IT system with composite care plans that can increase the efficiency of the services provided to patient.

The integrated system involves functional and non-function requirements with respective measures to address them. Despite several constraints and assumptions, our recommendation is for future development of solutions to meet the requirements identified in the pilot study as a way of reducing the risks associated with a project having a wider scope.
