Capstone case:New century wellness group\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0New Century We<\/span>l<\/span>lness Group offers a ho<\/span>l<\/span>istic approach to healthcare wi<\/span>t<\/span>h an <\/span>emphasis on\u00a0<\/span>preventive med<\/span>i<\/span>cine <\/span>as well as trad<\/span>i<\/span>tional medical <\/span>care<\/span>. <\/span>In <\/span>your role as an IT <\/span>consultant, <\/span>you willhe<\/span>l<\/span>p <\/span>New <\/span>Century deve<\/span>l<\/span>op a new information system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bac<\/span>kgrou<\/span>nd<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Based on your earlier <\/span>recommendati<\/span>ons, New Century <\/span>decided to continue <\/span>the systems <\/span>development process <\/span>for a new information system. Now, <\/span>at the end of <\/span>the systems <\/span>analysis phase, <\/span>you are ready to prepare a system requirements document and give <\/span>a presentati<\/span>on <\/span>to <\/span>the New Century\u00a0<\/span>associ<\/span>ates. <\/span>Many of <\/span>the proposed system’s <\/span>advantages were described during <\/span>the fact–<\/span>findi<\/span>ng process<\/span>. <\/span>Those include smoother operation, better eff<\/span>i<\/span>ci<\/span>ency, <\/span>and more user<\/span>–<\/span>fri<\/span>endly <\/span>procedures for\u00a0pat<\/span>i<\/span>ents <\/span>and <\/span>New Century staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 You al<\/span>so <\/span>must examine <\/span>tangible costs <\/span>and benefits <\/span>t<\/span>o <\/span>determine the econom<\/span>i<\/span>c <\/span>feasibility of<\/span><\/p>\n

several <\/span>alternati<\/span>ves. If <\/span>New Century <\/span>decides to go <\/span>ahead with t<\/span>he devel<\/span>opment process, <\/span>the mai<\/span>n\u00a0opt<\/span>i<\/span>ons are to deve<\/span>l<\/span>op the system <\/span>in–<\/span>house or purchase a vertical package and conf<\/span>i<\/span>gure <\/span>it to meet\u00a0New Century’s <\/span>needs<\/span>. <\/span>You have <\/span>stud<\/span>i<\/span>ed <\/span>t<\/span>hose choices <\/span>and <\/span>put <\/span>t<\/span>ogether <\/span>some <\/span>prelim<\/span>i<\/span>nary f<\/span>i<\/span>gures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 You know that New Century’s current <\/span>workl<\/span>oad requires <\/span>si<\/span>x hours of <\/span>office staff overtime per\u00a0week at a base rate <\/span>of <\/span>S15 <\/span>per hour<\/span>. <\/span>In addit<\/span>i<\/span>on, based on current <\/span>pro<\/span>j<\/span>ec<\/span>ti<\/span>ons, New Century <\/span>will<\/span>need to add another full<\/span>–<\/span>t<\/span>i<\/span>me clerical pos<\/span>i<\/span>tion in about <\/span>six <\/span>months<\/span>. <\/span>Neither <\/span>the <\/span>overtime <\/span>nor <\/span>t<\/span>he\u00a0<\/span>addit<\/span>i<\/span>onal <\/span>j<\/span>ob <\/span>will be needed if New <\/span>Century <\/span>i<\/span>mplements <\/span>the <\/span>new <\/span>system<\/span>. <\/span>The current manua<\/span>l\u00a0<\/span>system <\/span>also <\/span>causes <\/span>an average of three <\/span>errors <\/span>per day, and <\/span>each error takes <\/span>about 20 minutes <\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>correct. <\/span>The new <\/span>system should <\/span>elim<\/span>i<\/span>nate those <\/span>errors.<\/span><\/p>\n

You esti<\/span>mat<\/span>e t<\/span>hat <\/span>by working full–<\/span>ti<\/span>me you <\/span>could compl<\/span>et<\/span>e th<\/span>e pr<\/span>oject i<\/span>n a b<\/span>out <\/span>12 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your consulti<\/span>ng r<\/span>at<\/span>e, which New Centu<\/span>ry agreed t<\/span>o, is $35 per hour. If <\/span>you design t<\/span>he new syst<\/span>em as a d<\/span>at<\/span>a b<\/span>ase appl<\/span>ication<\/span>, you can expect t<\/span>o spend <\/span>about <\/span>$2,500 for <\/span>a networked commerci<\/span>al\u00a0<\/span>package. <\/span>After t<\/span>he system i<\/span>s operat<\/span>ional and <\/span>th<\/span>e staff i<\/span>s t ra<\/span>ined, New Cent<\/span>ury sh<\/span>ould be abl<\/span>e to\u00a0h<\/span>andl<\/span>e routi<\/span>ne maintenance tasks wit<\/span>hout <\/span>you<\/span>r assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an alt<\/span>ern<\/span>ative to in–<\/span>house devel<\/span>opment, a <\/span>verti<\/span>cal sof<\/span>twar<\/span>e package i<\/span>s avail<\/span>ab<\/span>le for <\/span>ab<\/span>out<\/p>\n

$12,000. T<\/span>he ven<\/span>dor offer<\/span>s a l<\/span>ease–<\/span>pu<\/span>rchase packa<\/span>ge of <\/span>S4,000 down, f<\/span>oll<\/span>owed by two annual installments of <\/span>$4,000 ea<\/span>ch. <\/span>If <\/span>New Cen<\/span>tur<\/span>y bu<\/span>ys t<\/span>he pa<\/span>ckage, it would take you a<\/span>bout f<\/span>our <\/span>weeks to install, con<\/span>figur<\/span>e, an<\/span>d t<\/span>est <\/span>it<\/span>, work<\/span>ing fu<\/span>ll-<\/span>t<\/span>ime. <\/span>The vendor provides fr<\/span>ee support duri<\/span>ng t<\/span>he fir<\/span>st <\/span>year <\/span>of <\/span>operat<\/span>ion, b<\/span>ut <\/span>then New Century mu<\/span>st <\/span>sign a <\/span>tech<\/span>ni<\/span>cal support <\/span>agreement at <\/span>an ann<\/span>ual cost of <\/span>S600. <\/span>Al<\/span>though the pa<\/span>ckage contains many of t<\/span>he feat<\/span>ures t<\/span>hat <\/span>New Century want<\/span>s, most <\/span>of the reports ar<\/span>e pre–<\/span>d<\/span>esigned a<\/span>nd it <\/span>woul<\/span>d be diff<\/span>icult t<\/span>o modi<\/span>fy thei<\/span>r Iayouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 No matt<\/span>er wh<\/span>ich approach <\/span>is sel<\/span>ect<\/span>ed, New Centu<\/span>ry pr<\/span>obab<\/span>ly wi<\/span>ll need <\/span>you to provide about<\/span>1<\/span>0 hour<\/span>s of <\/span>in<\/span>itial t<\/span>rain<\/span>ing and <\/span>support <\/span>each week f<\/span>or the fir<\/span>st <\/span>three month<\/span>s of opera<\/span>tion. <\/span>Aft<\/span>er\u00a0<\/span>the n<\/span>ew syst<\/span>em is oper<\/span>ati<\/span>ona<\/span>l<\/span>, it <\/span>will n<\/span>eed r<\/span>ou<\/span>tin<\/span>e mai<\/span>ntenance, fi<\/span>l<\/span>e backu<\/span>ps, an<\/span>d updating. T<\/span>hese tasks will requir<\/span>e ab<\/span>out <\/span>four hour<\/span>s per week an<\/span>d can be perf<\/span>ormed by a clini<\/span>c staff <\/span>member. <\/span>In\u00a0<\/span>both cases, t<\/span>he necessa<\/span>ry har<\/span>dware and n<\/span>etwork i<\/span>nst<\/span>all<\/span>at<\/span>ion wil<\/span>l cost <\/span>ab<\/span>out <\/span>S12,500.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 In your view, the u<\/span>sef<\/span>ul <\/span>l<\/span>if<\/span>e of t<\/span>he system will be about <\/span>five years, including the year <\/span>in <\/span>whi<\/span>ch the syst<\/span>em becomes operat<\/span>ion<\/span>al.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0You ar<\/span>e scheduled to d<\/span>el<\/span>iver a pr<\/span>esentati<\/span>on to New Centu<\/span>ry next week<\/span>, and you wi<\/span>ll sub<\/span>mit a system r<\/span>eq<\/span>uir<\/span>em<\/span>en<\/span>ts d<\/span>ocument <\/span>at <\/span>that time. <\/span>To prepare your<\/span>self<\/span>, you <\/span>reviewed t<\/span>he ski<\/span>lls described in Part A of the Syst<\/span>em<\/span>s Ana<\/span>l<\/span>yst<\/span>‘s Toolkit, and you l<\/span>ist<\/span>ed ti<\/span>ps t<\/span>o rememb<\/span>er, as f<\/span>oll<\/span>ows:<\/p>\n
