EIA Reference Architecture for Electronic Health Record System Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of developing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system using an Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) reference architecture. It details the conceptual and logical architectures, component relationships, and interaction diagrams essential for system development. The report outlines an operational model and addresses challenges such as budget constraints, security concerns, and system interoperability. Possible strategies to overcome these challenges, including resource allocation, executive management involvement, and vendor selection, are discussed. The report also includes recommendations for maintaining system effectiveness and efficiency, highlighting the importance of a well-structured approach to EHR system development within a connected government framework. Desklib offers a wide range of study tools, including past papers and solved assignments, to aid students in understanding complex topics like EHR system architecture.

Executive Summary
The following report is all about an analysis of electronic health record system which has been
developed by the approach of Enterprise architecture reference. This particular approach is
used on large scale basis for controlling the project from initial or beginning phase to closing
phase. In a sequential way the diagrams have been provided and they have used for describing
the essential part which is required for the development of the required system. Various
drawbacks and issues of enterprises information architecture has been described along with
possible strategies. In the end various challenges are mitigation techniques has been described
in details.

Introduction
EIA stands for Enterprise information Architecture is considered to be an essential part
of enterprise architecture. It is designed in such a way that is can provide a framework for
sharing of data in various departments of a firm by making use of cost effective techniques
(Adenuga, Kekwaletswe and Coleman, 2015). The information system of EIA is designed in such
a way that it can take care of various issues of privacy and security which contains right kind of
information. At present various government bodies round the globe are addressing issues due
to transparency, accountability of the citizen, business and community (Adler-Milstein, Bates
and Jha, 2013). This particular report deals with EIA RA is mainly focused for developing
Electronic health record system which can easily help the various government and citizen.
In the coming pages of the report an idea has been provided regarding EIA RA
(Enterprise
Information Architecture Reference Architecture). This particular not only works in systematic
way but it is also associated with various kinds of true methods and pattern which can be used
for design of information system. A conceptual architecture, logical architecture, relationship
and interaction diagram of various component has been provided. After that an operation
model, challenges, possible strategies for overcoming problem along with recommendation has
been provided.
Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture for EHR system
The benefits of EIA RA (Enterprise Information Architecture Reference Architecture)
used for development of record related to electronic health are:
Integration of various enterprise: The ultimate goal of electronic health record system
can be easily achieved by the help of EIA RA. In this architecture various components of
enterprise are checked or ensured (Bender and Sartipi, 2013). Integration of various approaches
in done at various levels. The first layer is all about interconnection of various machines and
devices. The second layer is all about business integration which comprises of controlling of
business function and various processes associated with it.
Data domains of enterprises – The approach made by EIA RA is considered to be very
helpful for providing accurate kind of response by making use of single source and providing
accurate information through a single source and accurate kind of information to the eHealth
department of the organization (Da Xu, 2014). Various kinds of services like metadata services,
operational data and lastly content data is considered to be unstructured to the single central
system by making use of single approach related to domain of data. Integration helps in achieve
central kind of services along with management of enterprise.

Conceptual architecture
The needs of electronic health system are planned by the government of Australia. It is
considered to be a vital part of EIA RA. Conceptualism used by this architecture focus on
characterization by the help of idea and logic which is introduced from various electronic health
record (DOLCINI and Sernani, 2013). The development of electronic health record health record
has been presented by overview diagram which is provided report. A diagram has been
provided regarding which consist of electronic health record system has been provided.
Building block generally serves as a foundation which can be used for development of
electronic health record.
The diagram draw below provides an idea regarding health record system and various
associated features of it (Duftschmid et al. 2013). This merely focus on the fact that an
individual entity serves as basic for various parts client and providers of health. With references
to diagram government can be considered as a primary layer in building blocks and it works like
important role in electronic health record and its development.

Logical architecture
Functionality though feasible technically is given by the help of logical structure which
can be used for delivering system for development of health record. The diagram below
provides an idea regarding the various aspects regarding logical view of electronic system which
is being development (Lake et al. 2014). Groups of engineer and modelers are nothing but a
logical group which is intended with logical view diagrams which is needed for proper
development of components of the system.
Data warehouse is generally used for broadcasting and providing required value of data
for the operation of whole system. The diagram draw below is inclusive of budget, design,
related data, requirements which is used by data warehouse for development of electronic
health system (Mandl et al. 2014). Primary aim of logical diagram is competition of objective for
healthcare and providers of patient for upgradation of healthcare system.

Component Interaction Diagram
The relation between different parts, entities and interfaces can be easily provided
health record system (Marceglia et al. 2015). Various components provided in the figure are
generally inspected by developer for understanding and gathering of gathering of functionality
and proper kind of working methods. Various messages have been shown in sequential for
component interaction diagram which focus on use of components of interaction which is used
for achieving desire goals.
