Introduction
This project depicts the crucial necessity of implementing an electronic health record keeping
system developed by commonwealth Government. This health records contains individual’s
health record details and store hose information under high security. This system is referred
to as a reliable, secure and trustworthy resource for the Australian common people. This
system helps both the doctors and patients to access their health records during diagnosis
(Waterson, 2014). Through this system each and individual will be able to control their health
status. Due to high level security nine of the unwanted users will be access information from
the server of My Health Record system (Ventola, 2014). The vision of this project gives an
enhanced healthcare support system with a possible care.
Vendor Solution
Selecting a vendor for providing the systems requirements-
In this exercise of the selection of the vendor for the electronic health Record Keeping
system, there are some practices which must be computed in order to explore the availability
of the vendors actively and propose the better suggestions for the evaluation of their
facilitation and as well as selection.
EPIC
1. The first vendor for the criteria selection is Epic.
2. The player Epic was founded in the year 1979 is regarded as one of the oldest players in
keeping the IT industry.

health report as well as maintaining the credibility of the revenue management.
2. This is one of the oldest and most reliable software used for the completion of clinical and
financial records.
3. This is the another software which is used in the case of small as well as medium-sized
practice health keeping industries.
4. The major feature of this software is that it is practiced in improvement of the various
operations.
5. This is also maintained in the clinical ranked devices in order to give the best performance
as quoted by the black book in the year 2014 (Beyer, 2010).
6. This particular vendor is also used for the streamlining functioning process in the context
5

EHR Requirements and Recommendations
of the advanced tool mechanism along with the conjugation of the various monitoring patient
flows kept in the Laboratories and other information.
The various features in regard to the particular vendors quoted above and the respective
reasons for the selection are -
1. They are basically chosen on the basis of the existing criteria in relation to the installed
financial services in the software (Ventola, 2014).
2. The most affordable technique is contained in the evaluation of the financial as well as the
clinical, operational integrated programming system in combination with the EMR product.
3. The fundamental features in the vendors which are selected above are that there is efficient
management of the record keeping and they are the oldest software which is used for the
cheapest delivery of services in case of software management of the records as well as
keeping the financial records in the pharmacy and nursing staff department (Ventola, 2014).
4. Another feature is that the vendors they are selected as for the experiences which they have
gained by working in the respective lab hospitals or in any of the pharmacy Labs and
departments (Beyer, 2010).
5. This software can also be used in making negotiations in the hospitals and other pharmacy
departments for the financial and the operational analysis of the products.
The process of going training activities which are responsible for the implementation of the
necessary for recordkeeping authorities and compatibility with emerging standards of the
authority (Ventola, 2014).
Review of cloud-based
The advantages of the cloud based computing programs are-
1.The advantage of the cloud-based computing in case of the in that it is the security feature
that provides the most accessible as well as the compatible way of having access to the
various records produced by the patients in order to make the compatibility with the system

EHR Requirements and Recommendations
and avoid the risk of failures.
2. Another advantage of the EHR system is the provision of the privacy as well as
authentication of every kind of Management services in regard to the regulations paid by the
traditional and convention health Record Keeping authorities.
3. There is no need to worry about any confidential information to get released or review in
front of any of the individual there is the offer of the privacy that keeps the records of all the
patients confidential and limits access of certain people.
4. Another feature which improves the cost-effectiveness of all over program inside the
client-server system requires a feedback mechanism in order to maintain the revenue cost
produced by the client as well as patients in the cloud-based EHR system with no of hardware
installation or revenue regarding the license taxes (Beyer, 2010).
The disadvantages of the cloud based computing programs are-
1. The major disadvantage of keeping the cloud-based computing programs is that it does not
give way to customizability and do not offer any changes in the already kept records.
2. There may be the presence of any life in the accessibility of any data from the internet.
3. There is the risk of intermixing of the data analyst records from one patient data to the
patient stored data ( Janka, 2002).
4. For the usage of the long time ago, the characteristics become more
expensive (Srivyshnavi, 2013).
5. The host will control all the patient medical data and information ( Li, 2007)
6. The medical practice will not be able to work out with a steady internet connection ( Vohra
, 2012)
7. There are chances that the vendors pull down the business operations there's a danger of
losing medical data without keeping the backup which is at the risk of the software used ( Li,
2009).

EHR Requirements and Recommendations
Here we observed some of the advantages and disadvantages of cloud-based health IT
systems. Many experts are of the opinion that with the improvement of technology, the US
Health IT industry will be dominated by the cloud-based systems in the years ahead. The
web-based systems are steadily being more secure, and internet is reaching the furthest rural
corners of The country ( Holcombe, 2008).
SDLC Approach
Pros and Cons of Predictive Analysis
There are certain advantages of predictive analysis is pertains to the technology management
in the field of planning so as to bring out the business intelligence for identification of the
future facilities at them the potential out of productive models (Kuperman, 2003).
The major benefit is that it is the multiple functions in the framework of the predictive
modelling in the decision making the light area so as to make optimization in case of being
productive resources made for the range of various types of patients in the Record Keeping
and storage (Chaudry, 2003). The advantage of the position of the decision-making tools
which influences the sales and service marketing criteria for optimization of the entire
process of Record Keeping in a useful manner (Laskowski, 2011). The disadvantage of this
analysis is that it only utilizes the various selected decision-making tools which only makes
access to the selected consumerist patterns which fails while considering the predetermined
variables (Ed, 2013).
Pros and Cons of Adaptive Analysis
The pros and cons of the Adaptive analysis are as follows-
the advantages are-
The advantage of the science that it gives a chance to hold the various kinds of shareholders
in the engagement of the various projects related to being an HR keeping records and also
extend their help in the interaction extensively between the Core Team and the patient at

EHR Requirements and Recommendations
every stage (Chaudry, 2006).
The disadvantages-
The disadvantage of the adaptive analysis that it is only related to the user involvement in
which the time of the agent gets wasted at most of the times in case of testing is blessed by
evaluating the disagreements in the session development (Bahensky, 2008).
It also needs the involvement of the various stakeholders who are skilled along with making
the anticipation of the various projects in regard to that deliverable and other emergency
requirements in order to have the successful execution of the software.
Adaptive analysis versus predictive analysis planning
While selecting the analysis of the Planning criteria between adaptive and predictive, we need
to foster to several factors that lead to the development of the organization all the medical
pharmacy (Nazi, 2014). The adaptive analysis technique is more compatible and flexible as
compared to the predictive analysis technique (Fonkych, 2005). The adaptive planning
involves the making as well as breaking of the record and making the analysis at every stage
along with obtaining the incremental improvements in the cost-cutting measures (Bayer,
2010). Adaptive planning strategies are more productive planning methods and preferred
over predictive planning since adaptive planning offers a wide variety of incentives class to
make the outcomes more resolute in nature and also makes the way making and breaking of
the challenges associated with the determination of the appropriate activities (Garg, 2005).
Conclusion
The health information can be shared between the patients and doctors securely. Due to the
incorrect prescribed medicines, the number of patients taking admission in the hospitals a lot.
These issues can also be resolved accordingly with the implementation of “My health
Record” project. The project thus covers all the aspects related to the adaptive and planning
analysis pertaining to the vendor selection and the associated features inside it.
