INTRODUCTION
• Requirement Gathering is collection of a set of statements which
define what needs to be provided by a solution to meet the
expectations of the sponsor, stakeholders and users.
• The collection of requirements is obtained by interviews, RAP
sessions and/or workshops.
Requirements gathering is used in:
• Producing the business requirements.
• Producing the functional requirements.

REQUIREMENTS
• Configured and customized implementation as per the task flow of
the physician.

![Page 11: requirement gathering for EMR customization](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062710/55a2c09d1a28abfe3e8b475e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DATA ENTRY VARIATIONS
• Different physicians prefer different methods for entering notes
because of productivity issues.
• Dictations
• Use of tablet interface to enter data if the physician is not
comfortable with typing.
• The EMR system should be so designed so that it contains more of
selection by mouse click and minimal typing.
REQUIREMENTS
![Page 12: requirement gathering for EMR customization](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062710/55a2c09d1a28abfe3e8b475e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ACCESSING MULTIPLE PATIENTS
• Physicians examining several
patients in different examining
rooms loose ample amount of
time in logging out from one dept.
and logging into another.
• portable tablet EMR to minimize
the hassle to logging.
• Multi-patient navigation should
be implemented to reduce time
loss in High priority patient calls.

Uploading of laboratory tests and imaging data is
present.
laboratory tests and imaging data are carried in portable
devices.
CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION
Cloud linkage with diagnostics should be obtained.
Uploading should be done by the diagnostics section
based on patient ID number
REQUIREMENT
![Page 22: requirement gathering for EMR customization](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062710/55a2c09d1a28abfe3e8b475e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

EMR IN IPD
• Tablet interface can be used for recording notes and vitals of the
in-patients. (data entered using patients ID number)
• Direct linkage between the physician screen and the ICU nursing
station should be there.
Doctor can monitor the vitals of his ICU patient while
sitting in his cabin.
Automated Alert generation, If the vitals range is
disturbed.

MEDICO-LEGAL CUSTOMIZATION
• Separate link for medico-legal cases should be present which can
only be accessed by the physician.
• All entries must be done by the done from the physician log-in
only.
• Highly sensitive decision alert system should be implemented.
E.g. if medical problem entered by the doctor is “damaged spleen
and high blood loss”. And in vital registration b.p. entered id
120/80. system must generate a alert message to confirm the entry.

SECTORAL CUSTOMIZATION
Provision for adding parameters for menstrual
history, conceiving patterns.
Gynecological parameters are completely
avoided in the HP EMR and they should be a
part of it.
GYNAECOLOGIST

OFFLINE AVAILABILITY
• While a purely online EMR sounds wonderful, intelligent offline
availability of these EMRs is critical ,where internet availability is
not reliable, and internet adoption (especially amongst senior
citizens) is not that high.
• Offline availability can be enabled through smarter software
designs, as well as storage devices such as CDs, USB drives, etc.
![Page 31: requirement gathering for EMR customization](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062710/55a2c09d1a28abfe3e8b475e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Work Flow configurable EMR
• EMR should be linked to every stake holder of the
healthcare system
• Less typing, more clicking (generation of pool drop
boxes)
• Offline backup support
