Major Project - MNMC Tele-Radiology System
From Course: IST 420
   

This project involved analyzing the IT infrastructure at Mount Nittany Medical Center (MNMC) in State College, PA, and determining an IT system that can be introduced at the hospital to help move a specific healthcare service outside Pennsylvania borders using IT-based solutions. Our group decided to implement (fictitiously) a tele-radiology system for the hospital. This project was built upon several mini projects that were completed during the course of the semester.

Note: Information about MNMC included in this project is based on our group’s assumptions and research from MNMC’s website. These assumptions were made to complete the diagrams and analysis for this project. We do not present the following information as representative of MNMC’s actual organization and IT infrastructure.

The final project included the following components:

1. An executive summary (currently unavailable)
2. A market context diagram and analysis with stakeholder analysis and stakeholder conflict analysis
3. An IT infrastructure diagram (Microsoft Visio .vsd file) and a description of the hospital’s applications portfolio
4. An organizational structure chart of the hospital (Microsoft Visio .vsd file)
5. A system context diagram and analysis with descriptions of different interactions and information flows (Microsoft Visio .vsd file)
6. A use case diagram with actors for the tele-radiology system (Microsoft Visio .vsd file)
7. Complete specifications of use cases
8. Wireframe diagrams for the use cases showing correspondence to use case steps (Microsoft Visio .vsd file)
9. Sequence diagrams for the use cases showing correspondence to use case steps (Microsoft Visio .vsd file)
10. Workflow diagrams showing three organizational processes that are impacted by the tele-radiology system (These petri net diagrams should be opened using Yasper)
11. A description of the project methodology that our group followed including rationale and description of steps
12. A project management plan Gantt chart that details tasks for each step in the methodology, suggested timeline, and resources required (Microsoft Project .mpp file)
