2INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HELATH DEPARTMENT
Introduction
The case study is regarding the information system of the County Health Department. Currently,
the County Health Department has the information system where the storage of data can be done
effectively. However, the flexibility is missing from the way of storing the data. The patients have to
enter the same data in different clinical field. In the other way it can be said the centralization of the
database is missing [2]. The reporting of the infectious diseases are neglected for the inefficiency of the
existing information system. In this situation a project has been developed regarding the improvisation
of the information system of the County Health Department which will develop the integrated health
informatics system [5]. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the existing communication plan
in the organization and the comparison of the project management practices. Certain recommendations
have been made for the improvisation of the projects. The recommendations has been made on the
basis of the findings from the discussion.
Discussion
Report regarding the current communication plan:
In order to discuss the communication plan the classification of the stakeholders are needed to
be done. In the communication plan regarding the project of improvisation of the current information
system in County Health Department, the stakeholders are client, senior manager, sponsors, team
members of the project team, subcontractors, suppliers, unions and government agencies, news media
and the community.
In order to get the effective result in the delivery of the outcome in the project and managing of
the stakeholders in the project the communication plan needs to be effective and realistic. It has been
detected that the communication problem is happening between the different stakeholders in the
project [2]. The lack of the flow of communication between the different stakeholders in this project can
lead to different problems which includes the scope creep of the project and unnecessary delay.
Further, one of the stakeholders involved in the project is media [1]. Due to the miscommunication the
media can inform wrong information about the progress and update of the project to the common
people [3]. The overall effect of the lack of communication can generate negative impact on the
common people regarding the development of the project which is not desirable. It can be said that the
existing communication plan is not suitable for the management of the project in an effective way.
