ISYS301/ITEC601 Assignment 2: Skin Cancer Treatment BPM Analysis

This assignment analyzes the business processes involved in skin cancer treatment, focusing on the application of Business Process Management (BPM) principles. The student explores the current 'As-Is' model of the process and identifies potential areas for improvement, particularly concerning the integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR) within the pathology department. The assignment proposes a 'To-Be' process model, visualizing the enhanced workflow after EHR implementation, and considers associated cost implications. The analysis includes a discussion on how EHR access can improve communication and efficiency. The assignment also incorporates a cost analysis of the proposed improvements, including the hiring of staff, training, and equipment. This assignment addresses the need for streamlined processes in healthcare, specifically for skin cancer treatment, as outlined in the assignment brief from Macquarie University for the ISYS301/ITEC601 course.
