Background of the Organization
• Queensland Health is the public health system of the Government of
Queensland. Several different types of services are provided for the residents of

procurement of the logistics of the health system. The performance
measurements of the health system are based on the quality of the health
services, the health of the population of Queensland, the experiences of patients
and the data that is collected of health.

Project Resources
• The resources required to complete the project are the project charter approval,
a budget, the human resources, the development team, the design team, the
information technology engineers, the communication system, the testing system
and the operators to input the health information of the patients into the system.
The software developers, the applications and the suitable hardware will also be
required for the project

Conclusion
• The heath information technology system is an expansive system but it can be
smoothly implemented if the above mentioned project plan is followed and the
steps are taken into account. Analyzing the needs of the project it would be good
to use the waterfall project model as this will contain costs and to disallow any
type of scope creep to set into the project to delay the implementation schedule.
