RECENT ASSIGNMENT

Refer to background information provided at the bottom regarding the Commonwealth Government ‘My Health Record’ project.

Task
The project is considering cloud based solutions which should be investigated. Consider various aspects of cloud based solutions such as; data security, which includes data ownership (by Department of Health, the young person, medical professionals, the Emergency Department etc). As well as other relevant aspects of cloud solutions.

• Use to ‘FURPS+’ acronym as reference, and ensure you at cover the non-functional aspects of the acronym, Usability, Reliability, Performance and Security.
Review of cloud based

A review of strengths and weaknesses of cloud based solutions. Taking into consideration the environment which the solution would be deployed.

SDLC Approach

Write brief description of the Pros and Cons to approaching the project using the ‘Predictive’ SDLC, then the Pros and Cons to approach the project as ‘Adaptive’ SDLC. Then recommend either Predictive or Adaptive to the SDLC for the project and briefly describe why.
Background:
My Health Record Project: The Commonwealth Government of Australia is launching ‘My Health Record’ a secure online summary of an individual’s health information.

Available to all Australians, My Health Record is an electronic summary of an individual’s key health information, drawn from their existing records and is designed to be integrated into existing local clinical systems.

The ‘My Health Record’ is driven by the need for the Health Industry to continue a process of reform to drive efficiencies into the health care system, improve the quality of patient care, whilst reducing several issues that were apparent from the lack of important information that is shared about patients e.g. reducing the rate of hospital admissions due to issues with prescribed medications. This reform is critical to address the escalating costs of healthcare that become unsustainable in the medium to long term.

Individuals will control what goes into their My Health Record, and who is allowed to access it. An individual’s My Health Record allows them and their doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers to view and share the individual’s health information to provide the best possible care.
