eHealth Information Systems StudyFor the purpose of our report we have chosen the eHealth system of the Department of Health and Aging. This choice differs slightly from the assignment instructions because eHealth is not a current information system, that is, it is still in the design and implementation phase. The main rationale behind the decision was that we assumed that management would much prefer a report on a new, upcoming system rather than one that they would most likely already be aware of. If we are to write a report to management, they don't need an analysis of their current systems, they should know about them - so we decided to provide some analysis on a system currently being implemented. Choosing eHealth has given us greater scope for the inclusion of our own considerations and analysis, which is most evident in the rich images and transaction process diagrams we have created. On the contrary, a disadvantage of this choice was the increase in the need for hiring. We have also detailed our hypotheses in this report. Context of eHealth“E-Health is the electronic management of health information to provide safer, more efficient and better quality healthcare. The Australian Government is fully committed to eHealth and has committed more than $188 million to help facilitate the transition from paper-based health record storage to electronic means for improved information exchange.” healthcare sector. Key drivers of this movement seek to improve the safety, reliability, accessibility, and quality of patient information. eHealth is a proposal that aims to create a standardized electronic health information service for everyone in the healthcare sector. It will provide a variety of information that is currently stored entirely in folders and paper. The main task of e-Health is to reduce costs while increasing the speed and accessibility of this information, while promoting security surrounding this sensitive information. eHealth in NewseHealth has been an issue firmly established in the public eye for a long period of time. Much like Centerlink's Smart Card project, eHealth has political factors that constantly push its implementation. It requires its implementation to date back to the early 2000s, as evidenced by Health Secretary Tony Abbott's description of its need: “...an electronic medical record, communicated electronically between healthcare professionals, would mean safer, better, cheaper and more efficient healthcare. For doctors and other professionals, this means less repetitive hiring
