Postgraduate Project Pre-registration: EHR Systems Usability

This postgraduate project pre-registration focuses on the usability of electronic health record systems (EHR). The project addresses the challenges of using a manual system for patient data storage in organization ABC and aims to implement a digital health record system to improve accessibility, security, and productivity. The project objectives include resolving issues associated with the manual system, implementing a digital system, and enhancing data security. The project aligns with organizational goals through stakeholder consultation, decision-making frameworks, and priority setting. User benefits include easier data access, improved accuracy, and enhanced communication. Success will be measured by on-time completion within budget, achievement of objectives, and customer satisfaction. Deliverables include the implemented EHR system, design documents, software tools, progress reports, and a usability report. The project will be completed within 4 months using agile methodologies and regular meetings, requiring human, financial ($40,000 budget), and technical resources. Potential risks include budget estimation errors and inexperienced project managers. Key personnel include a project manager, planner, supervisor, and analysts. Project reporting will involve documentation, meetings, and seminars.
