Assignment:Patient Flow Management System

Starting with a context diagram, draw as many nested DFDs as you consider necessary to represent all of the details of the patient flow management system described in the following narrative. You must draw at least a context diagram and a level-0 diagram. In drawing these diagrams, if you discover that the narrative is incomplete, make up reasonable explanations to complete the story. Provide these extra explanations along with the diagrams. Dr. Frank’s walk-in clinic has decided to go paperless and will use an information system to help move patients through the clinic as efficiently as possible. Patients are entered into the system by the front-desk personnel. If this is the first time the patient has been seen, insurance and basic demographic information is collected from the patient. If the patient has been seen previously, the patient is asked to verify the information. The front-desk person then ensures that the patient has a chart in the electronic medical records system; if not, a new medical record is started. The patient is then entered into a queue to wait for a medical technician who will collect health history, weight, height, temperature, blood pressure, and other medical information, placing it into the patient’s medical record. Next, the patient is placed into the queue to see a doctor. The first available doctor sees the patient, prescribes medication or treatment when appropriate, and sends the patient to checkout. The person at checkout collects the payment for the services, prints out any prescriptions for medications or treatments, and provides a printed record of the health services received.
