My Health Record: Headspace Information System Analysis Report

This report focuses on the implementation of a My Health Record information system within the Headspace organization, which treats young patients with mental health issues. The report highlights the challenges of repeated patient interviews and proposes an integrated information system to store patient stories, benefiting psychologists, doctors, and psychiatrists. The system's capabilities include storing, collecting, organizing, and filtering patient information, proving cost-effective and easy to implement. The benefits include improved data access and communication, leading to better patient care and more efficient workflows. The report concludes that the new information system is crucial for Headspace to manage patient data effectively, ultimately improving the quality of care provided to young people experiencing mental health problems.

MY HEALTH RECORD
Introduction
An organization, named Headspace, treats various young patients with mental issues and
problems in the New South Wales. This report outlines the innovative idea of storing the
patient’s stories in a modern integrated information system during the first time they are being
explained by the patients (Lee & Yu, 2012). This information system will be beneficial for the
psychologists, doctors and the psychiatrists, as they do not have to disturb the patients by asking
about their problems repeatedly.
Problem
Headspace is a recognized organization, which works with youth generation aged twelve
to twenty-five, who experience mental illness and ill health. Anxiety and depression are the most
common mental health problems, although there are many other mental illnesses as well. Youth
suicide in indigenous New South Wales for the age group of sixteen to twenty four has been
particularly disturbing and alarming, especially amongst the local and indigenous youth. One of
the major problems recognized was that a young person of age group of sixteen to twenty five
with a mental illness and problem needs special attention from multiple professionals. Every
time these patients need to tell their problems again. The young people discussed little and even
stopped talking about their problem. This makes it harder for the professionals to help them for
their problems (Bajdor, & Grabara, 2014). Initially, a social worker of Headspace, then the
medical staff in a hospital, maybe a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and a general practitioner sees
them. Currently, funds are raised to form a system that will record the patient’s story in the first
time. This will provide authority to the specific professionals, so that the case studies and their
story can improve, and the young patient can be facilitated appropriately and more precisely

(Laudon et al., 2012). The funding has been approved for the new information system and the
business systems analyst of this project has to find the scope out of the project.
Capabilities
Headspace is an organization, which treats patients with mental ill health. The patients
are of age group between sixteen to twenty four. These patients do not remain in the state of
mind to tell their problems repeatedly. This becomes very hard for the doctors and psychiatrists
to understand their problems. At one time, they completely stop discussing their problems and do
not even want to talk about them (Demir & Krajewski, 2013). Recently, the funding is sponsored
for a new up graded system that will record the stories of the patients, the first time they are
being told. Information system is an integrated system that stores, collects, organizes and filters
information. It is extremely beneficial for any organization, especially for cases like Headspace,
where listening to patients illness repeatedly is a major problem.
Benefits
The implementation of an integrated information system is highly needed and beneficial
for the Headspace organization. This information system helps to store, collect, communicate
and organize information with utmost ease (Yucel, 2012). This is extremely easy to implement
and cost effective. The integrated information system will store all the information regarding the
patients and their health problems, so this new information system is very helpful for the
Headspace organization.

Conclusion
Therefore, from the above report it can be concluded that, the new information system is
needed and important for Headspace organization, which treats patients of youth generation with
mental illness and mental health issues. This information system will store their story in the
system, when they are told for the first time.
