Requirements Engineering for Hospital Management System

You are part of a software development team tasked with designing a Hospital Management System (HMS) for a multi-specialty hospital. The HMS aims to streamline various hospital operations, enhance patient care, and improve overall efficiency.

The team had already got some User Requirements:

1. Patient Registration:

The hospital staff should be able to register new patients.

Capture essential patient information, including personal details, contact information, and medical history.

Generate a unique patient identifier upon registration.

2. Appointment Scheduling:

Enable hospital staff to schedule appointments for patients across various hospital departments.

• Consider the availability of doctors and the nature of the medical service required during appointment scheduling.
• Send confirmation notifications to patients for their scheduled appointments.
• 3. Electronic Health Records (EHR):

Maintain electronic health records for each registered patient.

Include diagnosis details, prescribed medications, lab results, and treatment plans in EHRs.

Allow authorized medical staff real-time access to patient EHRs.

4. Billing and Invoicing:

Implement automated alerts for low-stock items and restocking orders.

Allow staff to update inventory records in real-time.

• Your tasks for the assignment are:
• 1. Identify Stakeholders:
• List and describe the key stakeholders involved in the Hospital Management System. Specify their roles, responsibilities, and interactions with the system.

2. Convert User Requirements:

Convert the provided user requirements into both functional and non-functional requirements. Clearly articulate each requirement to address specific aspects of user needs.

3. Draw Use-Case Diagram:

Create a use-case diagram to visually represent the interactions between users and the Hospital Management System. Clearly identify actors, use cases, and relationships in the diagram.
