Introduction
• XXAs a newly appointed manager of
the hospital I have been asked to
redesign the education unit the
software for electronic health records
need to be implemented into the
hospital.

Background of the Organization
• Queensland Health is the public health system of the Government of
Queensland. Several different types of services are provided for the residents of
Queensland. From the business aspect they call for tenders online and for the
procurement of the logistics of the health system. The performance
measurements of the health system are based on the quality of the health
services, the health of the population of Queensland, the experiences of patients
and the data that is collected of health.

Problem Statement
• The information health records need to be available to different clinical pathways
and the staff have to be educated in the health information technology that will
be implemented in order to ensure that records are readily available for the staff
and the clinical pathways on the patient records especially in cardiology and in
respiratory sections of the hospital.

Project Goal
• The goal of the project is to ensure that the new health information technology is
implemented in the hospital using a proper implementation plan for the project
that will be completed within the budget that is allocated for the project.

Risk Analysis Plan
• The identification of the risks to the implementation of the health information records integration
• Find the options that can be used for the risks
• Prioritize the risks in order to mitigate them
• Assess the exposure of the new system with the risks identified
• Select a risk management team
• Communication the risks
• Prepare a budget for the removal of the risks that have been identified
• Gain approval
• Implement the selected solution
• Test it
• Monitor the solution and improve it depending upon the risk level

Project Resources
• The resources required to complete the project are the project charter approval,
a budget, the human resources, the development team, the design team, the
information technology engineers, the communication system, the testing system
and the operators to input the health information of the patients into the system.
The software developers, the applications and the suitable hardware will also be
required for the project

Conclusion
• The heath information technology system is an expansive system but it can be
smoothly implemented if the above mentioned project plan is followed and the
steps are taken into account. Analyzing the needs of the project it would be good
to use the waterfall project model as this will contain costs and to disallow any
type of scope creep to set into the project to delay the implementation schedule.
