1. an electronic health care data system for an urgent care facility* for a
(mythical) UMUC Student Health Service clinic
Draft Due Sunday, April 20, 2014 (2359 hours Eastern Time) Final Due Sunday, April 27,
2014 (2359 hours Eastern Time)You will use the information learned throughout the
course to identify and document a full information system for a small company. You will
apply the basic steps of the SDLC to building the IT infrastructure for an electronic health
care data system for an urgent care facility* for a (mythical) UMUC Student Health Service
clinic by addressing what actions are taken and what decisions are made in each
phase.Make sure to address key technical issues from this course and to include and specify
key elements and components of a computer system as covered in this course, including
(but not limited to) the following (in no particular order):CPU type, speed, etcMemory type,
size, speed, etcNeeded I/O devicesNetworkingOperating systemOther required
softwareShared resourcesData formatStorageCommon file formatDatabases and
DBMSSecurity*Privacy*Etc. . The paper should make clear how the functional
requirements of the clinic result in the specific technical design specifications, above.The
body of the paper should be no more than 12 point type, not less than 4 pages or 1200
words and not more than 10 pages or 2400 words, not including title page, table of
contents, executive summary, and reference bibliography. The paper will require a title
page, a hot-clickable MS Word generated table of contents, executive summary, 4-10 pages
of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3 external resources from credible sources,
and a Works Cited/Reference page.The paper should either detail each step in the SDLC
(Systems Development Life Cycle) or should detail each step in the The Formal Systems
Approach, whichever you determine fits your paper and approach better. Either way, there
should be an emphasis on the technology outcome and how it flows from the functional
requirements.Refer to both the document SDLC Module 2 from IFSM 201 and other SDLC
material in Course Content, and the material on the The Formal Systems Approach in
Course Content and the Webliography or athttp://polaris.umuc.edu/~kschank/Formal-
Systems-Approach.htm.(Remember that there are many variants of the SDLC other than
what is presented in the above module. You may use any variant of the SDLC that you wish
provided that (a) it is logical and complete (and not pulled out of the air), (b) it is
appropriate for the system you are designing in your paper, (c) you identify which variant
you are using, and (d) you explain it.)Make sure your paper identifies which approach you
will employ, but clearly articulate the steps used to:Complete a preliminary

2. investigation, requirements analysis, and system recommendationSpecify a detailed
design based on your set of requirements.Develop the system according to your
design specification.Outline how you would test the system and gain user
acceptance.In your submission, be sure to include any references used in APA style (see the
tutorial in the COURSE CONTENT menu) for your source information in a bibliography as
well as cite them within the body of your paper. Be sure to check your work for spelling and
grammatical errors before submission. Yes, spelling and grammar count. The intent of
these topics is to provide you with an opportunity to hone your writing skills.The paper
must be your original work, in your own words, and written for this class. Do not simply
copy/paste information from the Web or textbook. Such submissions will not be accepted
for credit. Research projects should be original work for IFSM 310; therefore, you may not
re-use of a paper written you’ve written for a different class.All General Paper and Writing
Requirements for all papers (above) must be adhered to for this assignment, except as
specifically noted (e.g., table of contents is required, page limits are 4-10 pages,
etc.). —

– * (Note that since this is a medical facility, your design should comply with
Congressional regulations. Since 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) details patient privacy and regulations for health care-related businesses. In
addition to HIPAA, there were two acts passed by Congress in 2009 that specifically
garnered support for migrating to electronic medical records (EMRs). The Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act is specifically
geared at providing financial incentives to health care organizations that migrate towards
EMRs, with the intention of eventually replacing the incentives with penalties if providers
do not institute electronic record keeping. The second is the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act (ARRA), which institutes funding for comparative effectiveness research
(CER). Analysis and aggregation of anonymized patient data in regards to conditions,
treatment and progress can provide an invaluable source of CER to physicians and
healthcare organizations in the treatment of patients.Therefore, privacy and security
requirements should be addressed. However, computer architecture and system design are
the primary subjects of this course and will be more important in the grading than the
nuances of Federal law, privacy, and security. It would therefore be a mistake to take so
much time researching and designing for health care privacy and security laws that your
hardware and software infrastructure suffered as a consequence.)You may want to
incorporate tables of technical specs, as that is often a more effective way than narrative
paragraphs for presenting them. Also, if you can, please try to draw a diagram of the
system, either of its internal architecture and/or of its external connectivity, as
appropriate. Submission and Grading . Draft PaperThe Draft is due Sunday,April 20, 2014
(Week 5)The requirements for the draft paper are the same as for the final paper, with the
following exceptions. For the draft:The table of contents and executive summary are
optional. The reference page is required for both draft and final.The page and word count
limits are relaxed for the draft. Just keep it fairly reasonable —not trivially short and
especially not too long. (For the final paper, the page and word count limit will be as
specified above.)There is no requirement for TurnItIn for the draft paper. (The Final Paper,
of course, must be run through TurnItIn and the originality report must be attached to your

3. submission.)As the intent of the draft is to ensure that you are on the right track and to offer
advice on improving the paper before final submission, the grading for the draft paper will
be more lenient than the grading for the final paper. The grading elements, however, will be
essentially the same. The final paper is due Sunday, April 27, 2014 Submit both the draft
and final papers into your Assignments Folder.This paper earns 18% of the final course
grade. The weight toward the course grade will be 3% for the draft and 15% for the final
plan.Remember that in accordance with the policy in the Syllabus, students must submit all
final papers (including this FinDesn) to http://turnitin.com/ and must attach the TurnItIn
Originality Report to the submission in the Assignments Folder along with the paper
itself. Draft papers and topic selection (DraftPlan) need not be run through TurnItIn. See
TurnItIn Requirement in General Paper and Writing Requirements for ClassID and
password.Remember that the correct TurnItIn report to submit is the Originality Report,
not the Digital Receipt. Grading rubric —15 points toward course grade for final paper; 5
