3SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF TELEHEALTH PROJECT
Introduction
The Telehealth project announced by Australian Government in 2013 was a helpful hand
for healthcare department. One of the projects in Telehealth project is After-hours Urgent Care
Telehealth, which has been funded, and analysis of this project is done in this report. The After-
hours Urgent Care Telehealth project is for emergencies in rural areas and providing support to
nearest hospitals via videoconferencing and thus delivering services to parts where healthcare
department cannot reach (Glandon, Slovensky & Smaltz, 2013). The purpose of this report is to
analyze the stakeholders and map them using given quadrants in this report and questionnaire for
each stakeholders for the given project. The given Telehealth project is described using use case
diagram.
The outline of this report is stakeholder map including description for the project given
using four quadrants, questionnaire part for stakeholders and use case diagrams with descriptions
for the discussed project in this report.
Discussion
The report discusses on stakeholder map, which includes stakeholder role name and the
description of reason of their interest in this project. The questionnaire part is discussed which is
to be sent to the stakeholder and use case model for the analysis of information system (Labajos
& Thomson, 2017). These three factors are discussed in the following paragraph.

Stakeholder map
The stakeholder map given below with four quadrants that are Internal-Operations,
Internal-Executive, External-Operation and External-Executive. The reason of interest of these
stakeholders is given below in the following chart.

controlled
Doctor To be able to analyze data of patients and
share with them for proper service and care
Questionnaire
The purpose of this questionnaire is to ask questions to each stakeholder to analyze the
problems and operation of system. This will help the project to understand the requirements of
the healthcare project and what should be done to improve the overall project operations. The
questions for each stakeholder are given below.
Patient Questions
i. Do you want to access all your health related data that will be recorded in the system?
ii. Do you want notifications for medicines for your health related data from the system?
iii. What type of facilities you want from this system?
Doctor Questions
i. How do you want the system to work?
ii. Which data you want to be stored in the system?
iii. How do you want to interact with patients using the system?
iv. Which reports you want to be shown to the patients while interacting?
Doctor Questions
i. Which are the functionalities you want to introduce in the project as administrator?

ii. How do you want the registration process should be?
iii. How often do you want to access the recorded data in the system?
Use Case Diagram and Description
Use Case Diagram of Telehealth Project
Patient registration: Registration is the first step in use case of the system as it is the initial step
to register in the information system and access the information system (Singh & Sharma, 2014).

8SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF TELEHEALTH PROJECT
It is necessary for patients as it provides proper service to them and only one patient can be
registered at a time.
Patient Login: Login is the step, which can be used to view the registered data and using
username, and password patients can login to the information system. It is used to validate the
authorization of patients.
Patient health related data: The data given by the patient’s at the time of registration taken and
the data provided by them time-to-time is taken into account. This is crucial, as it is important for
give prescription to patients.
Doctor record: The doctor’s data recorded in the information system that includes prescription
and notifications for medicines. It is then passed on to patients. Patients can access this data.
Patient record: The patients data is recorded in the system that they input in the information
system while registration. This record is used further for analysis of patient’s medical history and
to prescribe medicines.
Prescriptions: Doctor gives the prescription to patient and both are able to see the prescription.
Name Health Data given by Patient
ID 001
Associated person Physician
Description The health data provided by the patient is
recorded in the information system.
Healthcare Advantages The health data of patient is available to end
users and doctors.

9SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF TELEHEALTH PROJECT
Use Frequency Regular
Associated person Patients
Objective Patient health data is updated
Activities Doctor verifies the provided data and stores it
into the system
Pre-facility Treatment is provided to patient
Post-facility Prescription is provided against the patient in
the information system
Exception Corruption of data
Conclusion
The above study concludes that there are various stakeholder and they are participating in
this project with different perceptions. It is necessary to include questionnaire, as it will help to
understand the problem areas of the project execution. The use case diagram helps to understand
the interactions between doctor, patient and information system. Therefore, it can be concluded
that this information system is useful and will help the rural areas in terms of healthcare growth
in emergencies.
