My Health Record: System Analysis Report, University of Australia

This report provides a comprehensive system analysis of the 'My Health Record' system used in Australia. It begins with an introduction to the system and its purpose within healthcare organizations, specifically mentioning its relevance to organizations like Headspace. The report identifies key problems such as data inaccuracy, lack of network visibility, and technical faults related to hardware and software. It then explores the system's capabilities, including handling multiple patients, scheduling appointments, and optimizing time utilization for healthcare professionals. The benefits section highlights advantages for doctors, healthcare organizations, patients, and staff, such as efficient data access, reduced costs, and improved patient care. The conclusion summarizes the report's findings, emphasizing the system's potential to benefit the Australian healthcare system. The report references several scholarly articles to support its analysis.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
1. Introduction
My Health record system is used for the recording all the health related information about
the patients in Australia. Headspace is an organization that is involved with the treatment of the
people who are mentally ill aged in between 12 to 25. The health record would be very efficient
in serving the purpose of the organization (Lee et al, 2016). The report provides details about the
‘My Health Record’ and the related information to it. The report consists of the problems,
capability and the benefits of the system.
2. Problem
The main problems that are faced by the systems are (Hibbard & Greene, 2013):
Inaccuracy in recording of data efficiently: The system also requires to record the
stories of the patient aptly and hence if the system does not record the data of the patients
efficiently the system would not provide any kind of benefit to the organizations that are using
the “my health record system”.
Lack of visibility in the implementation of the network: The implementer of the network
needs to have the right vision so that he can define the proper functioning of the system. If the
designers are not accustomed with the requirement of the system aptly then the system would be
inefficient.
Technical faults related to the system: The technical faults in the system would arise in
the system if the hardware and the software configuration of the system are not done properly. In
addition to this the deficiency of the hardware device would result in the mal functioning of the
entire system.

3. Capability
The main capabilities of the system are (Jone & Furkawa, 2014):
Handling more than one patient at a time: The system can store large amounts of data
and also would be capable of maintaining the patient’s data efficiently. This would resolve the
issues of entering the data for the patients again and again. Hence, this would allow the system to
handle more than one patient at a time.
Scheduling of appointments: The system would keep a record for the doctors and this
would allow the patients to gather information about the doctors (Rieckmann et al., 2016). In
addition to this, the patients would be able to log in to the system and book appointments with
the desired personnel and this would allow saving time for the patients and also they would be
treated efficiently by the doctors. The patients would be relived form standing and the waiting in
the queues in order to be checked.
Utilization of time: The system would also result in the utilization of the time for the
organization and hence, more time can be spent efficiently on the diagnosis of the patients.
Hence the system would result in the increased efficiency of the roles of the organization and
also pace up their operations.
4. Benefits
The system would provide various types of benefits to the organization. The main
benefits of the system are (Sultan, 2014):
Benefits for the doctors of the organizations: The system would be benefitting the
doctors the most as all the information about a certain patient would be stored in the system.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Hence, the doctor does not have to go through all the details again and again and perform the
diagnosis instead.
Benefits of the healthcare organizations: The healthcare organizations would be
benefitted as they do not have to spend so much of money on maintaining the records for the
patients. This would also increase the efficiency of the healthcare system of the country.
Benefits for the patients: The implementation of the system would also provide various type of
benefits for the patients. They would be able to simply book an appointment online and also they
would not have to perform several type of test again and again this would save their cost of
treatment.
Benefits for the staffs in the organizations: the staffs would also be benefitted form this
system as they would not have to maintain the records and perform the repetition of same
procedures again and again.
5. Conclusion
For conclusion it can be said that “My Health Record System” has the capability to
provide various type of benefit for the healthcare organization of Australia. The report provides
details about the ‘My Health Record’ and the related information to it. The report consists of the
problems, capability and the benefits of the system. Hence, the implementation of the system is
aptly justified by this report.
