Update: Week Ending 3rd August 2007

Summary of week ending 03/08/07
Hendy and I spent the majority of our time this week (Tuesday to Friday) at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. My main goals for the week were to:

• Describe and document workflow of clinicians with an emphasis on their use of clinicial information systems including CareVue.
• Map out workflow into simple diagrams.
  
• System analysis of CareVue and its ability to satisfy its purpose.
• Summaries and report any significant issues with current ICU information systems.
• Elicit functional and non-functional requirements of an idealised ICU information system.

Week commencing 06/08/07

Hendy and I also had a detailed meeting with Jon Patrick to discuss progress and what to do next on Friday. Over the coming week, I hope to achieve the following:

• Write up system analysis document (Draft) - contain SRS, full analysis of workflow, data flow, interview findings, etc
  
• Follow up interviews/meetings with RPA to present and finalise findings.
  
• Experiment with G.H.I.M.S (if time permits)
  

I will follow up these entries with a summary of findings over next few days.
