System Analysis is the second phase in developing,
implementing and upgrading a clinical information system. It includes, two
phases, the Fact Finding Phase, and the actual Systems Analysis phase.
During the Fact Finding Phase, all data requirements
related to the problem defined in the project scope agreement are collected and
analyzed to gain a sound understanding of the current system.
After that would be the actual Systems Analysis, where
it is again broken up into 5 tasks, that is:
- Data Collection
- Data Analysis
- Data Review
- Benefits Identification
- System Proposal Development

First, data collection includes hardware, procedures,
software, processing, output and intended reports. It involves the creation of
workflow documents and functional
design document.
Workflow
documents assimilate the data collected into logical sequencing of tasks and
subtasks performed by the end users for the goal or problem area. Functional
design document on the other hand are overview statements of how the new system
will work. It uses the workflow document as its basis in creating a new system,
or upgrading a previously existing system
Data analysis meanwhile provides
overview of the nursing problem and/or stated goal. It uses tools to analyze
data such as data flowchart, grid chart, decision table, organizational chart
and models.
Next is data review, where review data are gathered thru
feasibility studies, workflow documents, and functional documents, and then provide
recommendations.
The basis for measuring the success of the project
is benefits identification.
Lastly, in system proposal development, a proposal is submitted to the project’s steering committee for review and
approval, identifying the problems and/or goals and requirements for the new
system’s overall design.
