Furthermore, the report states about market and competition scenario forMedical Information System. The major factors and considerable constraints are identified forMedical Information System application. Once, the market and identified problems are depictedin the report; the design thinking techniques are utilized to state how the application should bedeveloped. A detailed scheduling plan is provided in the report for identifying activities inapplication development and priority based scheduling to complete the project in time.
