Business and User Requirements Document

To prepare for a huge EHRS implementation, a facility must  first  understand who the EHRS will serve, where information that flows into  the  system comes from and who the primary users of the system will be  after it is  deployed at the facility. Part 1  will  be to complete each of  these to support the facility executive team as they  assemble an EHRS  development team.
 

  In response  to the needs of the organization, prepare a professional PowerPoint   Presentation for the Executive Committee which will evaluate data needs  for the  organization so that an EHRS Development Team can be assembled.  Refer to the  Good Apples Group Case document in Module 1 and pay  particular attention to 1)  Clinical Decision Making and 2) Target  Organizational Units found in that  document. Your PowerPoint must  include at least one slide to  present each bulleted item  below to the facility executive team. Be sure to  logically title each  slide in your presentation.

1. List the primary sources/areas/departments within the       organization which can be used to identify and gather  user       requirements. Show your understanding of the departments  that are in a       typical hospital; be specific and include a variety.  
2. List and briefly explain what departments that       will  be most impacted by an EHR system implementation and remember to include        the Information Systems Department.
3. List the methods that you would use to develop a        comprehensive list of user requirements for the project. (Conduct  research       on the web or in our library on effectively using  information gathering       techniques such as structured interviews,  focus groups, and surveys, in       order to effectively address this  section.)
4. List at least 6 requirements that must be met in order       for  this project to address the needs expressed in the Good Apples Case        document found in the project overview. Requirements should be  specific to       an EHR system development. Remember that a requirement  is not the same as       a general "goal."
5. Finally, make an EHRS Development Team Membership        recommendation. List each proposed member by title and remember to  include       the Director of Information Systems Department.

Note that these requirements must focus on the needs of the  facility  and of the people who will be using the project as an alternative   means of performing business processes they already perform.
  Your PowerPoint should be approximately 5-8 slides in  length. The  final slide should be used as your resource page. Be sure to credit  any  resources used in the preparation of this submission.
