1. Introduction
This report details the new information system of the Hospital Information System
that are mainly used in the hospitals. This report provided an approach to developing the
HIS system for the hospitals and the requirements of the system that are needed for
developing the system. The cost benefits analysis of the project is also defined in this project
along with the investigation techniques for gathering information system information.
a) The main aim of this project is to develop an information system for managing all
the activities of a hospital. The information system will able the users to handle their own
account from uploading their data and contacting their personal health doctors. This project
also aims to identify the stakeholders involved with the automated information system of
Hospital Management System.
b) The objective of the project is
 To create an approach of system development for developing the HIS system.
 To identify the functional as well as non-functional requirements that will be needed
for developing the HIS system.
 To create the cost benefit analysis for the project that is defined.
 To develop a project schedule for developing the information system.
 To find out the techniques used to investigate the information system.

2. Approach to Systems Development
a) The approaches that are used for developing a software are waterfall model,
prototype model, spiral model, extreme programming model, agile model, RAD (Rapid
Application Development) and JAD (Joint Application Development).
The model that is used for developing the information system for HIS is agile
methodology of project management (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). In agile methodology
iteration is used for developing the software application in life cycle of the system
development. In this particular approach of agile methodology, the development phase and
the testing phase are carried out concurrently which is not possible for any other type
approach used in system development (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). Agile methodology of
system development includes team interaction for completing the processes as well as the
tools. The agile methodology also enhance working of the software along with the
documentation of the software. Customer collaboration is mainly focused over the contract
negotiation and this particular methodology focuses on the change that are included in a
plan.
b) The agile methodology is basically used in this project because this method
proposes iterative as well as incremental approach for designing the Information system
(Binder 2016). For completing the information system of HIS, the agile approach breaks
down the project in to small parts so that the team finds it easy to complete the project. As
agile methodology enhance customer involvement in the project, the agile methodology is
best for developing the HIS system. The information system of the project will be considered
