A patient information system called Mental Health Care-Patient Management System (MHC-PMS) is needed to provide medical information about patients with mental health issues and the treatments that are receiving. The MHC-PMS will be a database in which all clinics can interact with to get patient medical information. A Software Requirement Specification (SRS) will be needed which will include four user requirements and four system requirements. A detail description of four nonfunctional and four functional requirements will be found in the SRS. The last part of the SRS will include a detail requirement specification. According to Sommerville (2011), the SRS is an official statement which system developers use to know what needs to be implemented in a system, (p 91). The SRS provides user requirements and systems requirements on what needs to be included into the system. The users of the new system will be designed for clinical staff which include doctors, nurses, health visitors, medical records staff, receptionists, and administrative staff. One requirement will be for the database to house information on the patient such as patient name, identification number, contact information, emergency contact information if the staff needs to call someone, and different types of medical information. The medical information will be notes from the doctors, prescriptions, test results from blood work and other medical devices. The system will have the ability to attach a photo ID of the patient to make it easier to identify the person. A requirement for the medical staff would be able to have a friendly interface for tablets and small laptops. Today, the use of mobile devices have increased compared to five years ago.

(This security measure would help with preventing unauthorized access to medical data as an extra security with the access controls). 4.4 The system and network shall meet other security requirements passed by laws in state and federal levels such as Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Identity Thief. (NIST also have checklists and standards which can help make a system more secure or for the network to be secure). Works Cited Dean, T. (2010). Network+ Guide to networks. (p. 595).

Security helps the organization meet its business objectives or mission by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards. Businesses should establish roles and responsibilities of all personnel and staff members. However, a Chief Information Officer should be appointed to direct an organization’s day to day management of information assets. Supporting roles are performed by the service providers and include systems operations, whose personnel design and operate the computer systems. Each team member must be held accountable in ensuring all of the rules and policies are being followed, as well as, understanding their roles, responsibilities and functions. Organizations information processing systems are vulnerable to many threats that can inflict various types of damage that can result in significant losses (Harris, 2014). Losses can come from actions from trusted employees that defraud the system, outside hackers, or from careless data entry. The major threat to information protection is error and omissions that data entry personnel, users, system operators and programmers make. To better protect business information resources, organizations should conduct a risk analysis to see what
Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.
The article “Security at Center Stage” depicts five secrets to a CSO’s success; it outlines the attributes needed to obtain success in the evolving field of security management. With the evolving role of a CSO there is a great necessity to satisfy all levels of need in the security and business setting. According to the article “Security at Center Stage” a CSO’s success is contingent on being “more that the average techie”, having a “focus on business”, being a “relationship builder”, requiring “an eye toward pervasive security”, and implementing a “dual reporting structure.”
It is a higher system, mainly because it gets rid with the manual procedure for digging through piles and piles of paper files to get certain details from the patient's track record. It is consists of sections about the administrative components, laboratory system components, radiology system components, pharmacy system components, computerized physician order entry, and clinical documentation. The administrative components section shows the person's demographics, chief complaint, as well as the information on hospital admissions and discharges. The laboratory system along with the radiology system components provide details for the patient's results, schedules, and billing.

...nce an incident that may not be seen as such by staff working in the same environment but, if the staffs have frequently witness that the same incident occur; they may stop reporting the incident. However, database application system can save charting time which could be utilized to provide care to residents. Administration function like medical records, risk assessments, daily reports and coding requires documentations from the service users` electronic medical record database to enhance the EHR, which link the EHR data with databases containing standardized assessment information from external healthcare systems. If the database is not similar as to what other healthcare systems use, it is impossible to share information from EHR database with other clinical application systems.
Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.
Software Validation and Verification A. Concepts and Definitions Software Verification and Validation (V&V) is the process of ensuring that software being developed or changed will satisfy functional and other requirements (validation) and each step in the process of building the software yields the right products (verification). The differences between verification and validation are unimportant except to the theorist; practitioners use the term V&V to refer to all of the activities that are aimed at making sure the software will function as required. V&V is intended to be a systematic and technical evaluation of software and associated products of the development and maintenance processes. Reviews and tests are done at the end of each phase of the development process to ensure software requirements are complete and testable and that design, code, documentation, and data satisfy those requirements.

In this time and age, the use of technology in delivery of healthcare has become a target for many healthcare institutions owing to the benefits that these technologies have on the quality of healthcare that patients are receive. Examples include Electronic Medical Records and Electronic Health Records which help in management of patient data. In the recent past, healthcare providers have been making clinical decisions based on their personal reasoning but the innovation of the clinical decision support system (CDSS) has brought about changes in the process of making decisions by the nurses. Berner (2014) defines clinical decision support system as a technology that provides healthcare providers in the clinical settings with real-time information

As more companies that are leading technology are transforming from the traditional waterfall development model to an Agile software methodology, requirements engineering provides a process for software engineers to understand the problems they need to solve (Martin, Newkirk, & Koss, 2014). It is of key importance to understand the customer 's wants and needs before beginning designing or building the computer-based solution, as developing a solution that ignores the customer’s needs provides value to none of the parties involved. Thus, the intent of requirements engineering is to produce a written understanding of the customer 's problem (Pressman, 2010). Work products that are available to communicate this understanding include user scenarios, function and feature lists, analysis models, and specifications. This paper provides an evaluation of requirement patterns, an assessment of problem solving techniques most effective, a descriptive explanation of the patterns that includes a visual taxonomy, and an explanation of how the patterns identified are related.

The first thing that we must consider about Information Security is that there is not a final destination at which we can arrive. IT Security is an ongoing set of processes and activities that requires attention and expertise on a daily basis. It is important to understand that systems are not secured by themselves and it is our responsibility to maintain and improve them periodically as required. It is of vital importance to establish the appropriate mechanisms and requirements in order to support the company’s CIA triad. The following report will provide you guidance about auditing and hardening techniques applied though the 7 Domains by utilizing IT Security Best Practices.
