1. Introduction 1.1 System purpose .] Millenia Health Center (MHC) is seeking a new system so that they may more easily maintain track of their patients' medical histories and ensure that the right people are seen for each visit or procedure. Throughout the process, HIPPA guarantees that each patient's privacy is safeguarded and that they receive the care they require. 1.2 System scope The implementation of the upgraded system would effectively reduce erroneous procedures related to contacting or recognizing the wrong patient, as well as the transportation of incorrect patients to the surgical department. Consequently, a database that fails to adhere to HIPAA regulations would be deemed unfit for utilization, thereby ensuring the preservation of patients' medical records in a confidential manner. Connecting this database to those at other worldwide universities would greatly improve data accessibility. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) restricts unauthorized individuals from obtaining access to personal data pertaining to patients. Personnel who have been granted access will be the only individuals granted authorization to view the data. 1.3 System overview The system's foremost attribute is in its capacity to effectively restrict unauthorized individuals from gaining access to patient information, while simultaneously permitting authorized users to do so. Furthermore, there exists an interconnectedness across databases located on university campuses both inside the United States and internationally. The importance of highlighting the fact that the utilization of diverse settings and infrastructures might provide additional complexities in the realm of access authentication cannot be overstated. The utilization of a chat box facilitates enhanced communication between patients and healthcare professionals. Therefore, the act of keeping a greater amount of patient information has a reduced effect on the servers responsible for its security. 1.3.1 System context Primary care, specialty care, emergency care, and telehealth will all integrate into the system. The medical staff, administrative personnel, clinical assistants, receptionists, and volunteers will all access it. Patients can use Telehealth for a wide range of medical services, including routine checkups and preventative screenings, specialist consultations, urgent care, online appointments, and support for both chronic and acute health issues. A worldwide database was upgraded to allow for communication with the new system, which now contains patient data from other countries where MHC delivers services. The patient portal is available on the company's website, where both patients and staff can log in to it. 1.3.2 System functions The new technology not only improves patient care but also adheres to HIPPA standards for protecting patients' personal information. Improves MHC's privacy requirements and aids in the organization's day-to-day operations. Due to a lack of appropriate identification, records, or medical histories, staff members have incorrectly identified over one hundred patients. Most of these occurrences happened last year. Since the United States databases are currently isolated 3

from their international equivalents, several different servers around the country now function as databases. All campuses are now accessible from abroad, and some sorts of campus identification mistakes may be avoided thanks to the improved system. This creates a layer of protection over the patient database to which only authorized users have access. Therefore, there is no need to send confidential documents by international mail or fax anymore. The next section is the patient profile, which includes all information pertinent to the patient's health. In accordance with HIPPA rules, access to this data will be restricted to those members of the medical staff who have a direct and immediate need to know. Help enhance the privacy standards of MHC's day-to-day activities while also assisting in their enhancement. Due to insufficient identification, paperwork, or medical history, over a hundred times staff personnel have wrongly identified patients. Many of these occurrences have taken place over the past 12 months. Databases in the United States and elsewhere have been split, requiring different servers to provide this function internationally. The newly created technology allows access from other countries and decreases campus identification mistakes by linking all the campuses. This allows you to protect the patient database and provide only authorized users access to it. This eliminates the need to send confidential information via international mail or fax. The patient's whole medical history, including any sensitive information, will be kept in the profile. Only those members of the medical team who have direct involvement with or interaction with this patient will have access to this data. 1.3.3 User characteristics Doctors in a hospital setting are often highly busy people. They put in a lot of overtime and need easy-to-use solutions that won't let them down. In most cases, doctors want a straightforward method that streamlines their workflow and makes it easier to access patients' medical histories and information. Registered nurses (RNs) are healthcare professionals who assume responsibility for delivering comprehensive patient care across numerous specialties and different areas within the medical field. Their primary duty is to keep track of the patient's vital signs in the charts while also coordinating with the doctor and pharmacist to ensure that the right medication is given at the right time. This information must be recorded in the patient's chart and relayed to the nurse who will take over the next shift. They are responsible for managing interactions with the patient's family members who visit, and they have the authority to instruct LVNs and PCAs on when and how to monitor the patient's condition throughout the day. The role of the Business Administrator encompasses the supervision of all operational processes involved in the provision of medical care to patients inside a hospital or any other healthcare setting. They are primarily concerned with entering the patient's data, such as their insurance details, appointment times, and payment methods. The individuals have conveyed their inclination towards implementing a pre-visit online form for patients, as it would enable them to obtain pertinent information in a consolidated and uncomplicated manner. Consequently, using this approach will enable healthcare facilities to enhance patient admission and discharge rates, thereby alleviating congestion and creating a more conducive working environment for hospital personnel. 4
Within the hospital setting, the pharmacist assumes the crucial role of dispensing medications for inpatients, while also ensuring ongoing and effective contact with attending doctors and registered nurses. Furthermore, they engage in collaboration with pharmacy technicians employed inside the pharmacy setting to guarantee accurate preparation of medication doses intended for administration by nurses. The user expresses a need to access a comprehensive record of a specific patient's medication usage, while ensuring compliance with the privacy restrictions outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). 1.4 Definitions [Defines keywords. If you use any new keywords throughout your SRS, define them in this section.] 2. References [If you use resources throughout this document, this is your reference section. Use APA formatting.] 3. System requirements [The following subsections of the SRS explain the requirements of the system that will be implemented. This section is the meat of this document, and contains some of the most important information that developers who are working on the project will need to know.] 3.1 Functional requirements [Describes the tasks or functions that the system will perform. To indicate the mandatory nature of these requirements, be sure to use “will,” “shall,” or other unambiguous language when describing the functionalities (e.g., “the system will” or “the doctor shall”).] 3.2 Usability requirements [Identifies the user needs and how the system will meet these needs.] 3.3 Performance requirements [Describes the requirements that show that the system is functioning and running properly.
