and a reliable internet connection.
3. System Features
3.1 Patient Management
3.1.1 Description
The system should provide features for the creation, storage, and retrieval of patient
records. These records should be secure, accurate, and up-to-date.
3.1.2 Stimulus/Response Sequences
The user creates a new patient record by providing the patient's demographic information.
The system creates a unique patient identifier and assigns it to the patient record. When a
healthcare provider needs to access a patient record, they enter the patient identifier in the
system's search field. The system retrieves the patient record and displays it to the user.
3.1.3 Functional Requirements
The system must capture and store all relevant information about a patient, including
demographics and medical history.
The system should provide the ability to retrieve a patient's record quickly and easily.
The system should allow users to update and modify patient records as necessary.
The system should maintain the security and privacy of patient data by implementing
appropriate access controls.
3.2 Appointment Scheduling
3.2.1 Description
The system should allow hospital staff to schedule appointments with patients. The system
should also send appointment reminders to patients and doctors via email or SMS.
3.2.2 Stimulus/Response Sequences
The user selects the date and time for an appointment and enters the patient's name and
contact information. The system sends an appointment confirmation to the patient and
reminder notifications to the doctor and patient before the appointment.
3.2.3 Functional Requirements
The system should provide an easy-to-use interface for scheduling appointments.

The system should allow users to view available appointment slots and reserve them.
The system should automatically send appointment confirmations and reminders to
patients and doctors.
The system should allow users to cancel or reschedule appointments as necessary.
4. Data Requirements
4.1 Logical Data Model
The system should use an entity-relationship model to represent the data involved in
patient records, appointments, and billing.
4.2 Data Dictionary
The data dictionary should specify the format of each data element in the logical data
model and define the meaning of each data element.
4.3 Reports
The system should generate reports on patient demographics, diagnoses, treatments, and
billing.
4.4 Data Acquisition, Integrity, Retention, and Disposal
The system must enforce policies regarding data access, retention, and disposal in
compliance with HIPAA regulations.
5. External Interface Requirements

5.1 User Interfaces
The system should provide a web-based user interface accessible through a web browser.
5.2 Software Interfaces
The system should interface with other hospital systems such as laboratory management
systems and electronic health record systems.
5.3 Hardware Interfaces
The system should be compatible with a range of hardware devices including desktop
computers, laptops, and mobile devices.
5.4 Communications Interfaces
The system should support secure communication protocols such as HTTPS and SSL.
6. Quality Attributes
6.1 Usability
The user interface should be intuitive and easy to use, with clear navigation and
informative feedback messages.
6.2 Reliability
The system should be highly reliable, minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity at
all times.
6.3 Security
The system should implement appropriate access controls to ensure the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of patient data.
6.4 Performance
The system should be fast and responsive, able to handle a large volume of users and
transactions efficiently.
6.5 Maintainability
The system should be easy to maintain and update, with clear documentation and modular
design.
7. Other Requirements
7.1 Legal and Regulatory Requirements
The system must comply with HIPAA regulations and any other relevant laws or industry
standards.
7.2 System Documentation

The system should have comprehensive documentation, including user manuals, technical
specifications, and maintenance procedures.
7.3 Training and Support

The hospital staff should receive adequate training on how to use the system, and
the system should provide ongoing technical support
8. Internationalization and Localization

Requirements
Language Support: The system must support multiple languages to accommodate
users who speak different languages. This includes patient records, medical
reports, and other documentation.
Currency Support: The system must be able to handle different currencies and
exchange rates. It should also be able to convert prices and charges into the local
currency of patients in order to generate accurate invoices.
Time Zones: The system must be able to handle different time zones to ensure that
appointments, scheduling, and other functions are accurate across different regions.
Cultural Differences: The system should be sensitive to cultural differences,

particularly with respect to medical traditions and practices. It should allow for
customization of certain aspects of the system to reflect regional differences in
medical terminology and practices.
User Interface: The user interface should be designed to be flexible and

customizable to accommodate different languages and cultural differences. The
system should provide clear navigation and instructions, regardless of the user's
language or cultural background.
Accessibility: The system should also be designed to accommodate users with

disabilities. This includes providing support for assistive technologies such as
screen readers and braille displays.
In summary, a hospital management system that meets internationalization and

localization requirements will be more effective at serving patients and healthcare
providers in different regions.
Appendix A: Glossary
 EMR - Electronic Medical Record
 EHR - Electronic Health Record
 PHI - Protected Health Information
 HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Appendix B: Analysis Models
 Data flow diagrams (DFD) - A DFD can be used to represent the flow of patient
data, including admission, diagnosis, treatment, and discharge. It can also show
how information is exchanged between different departments within the hospital.
 Entity-relationship diagrams (ERD) - An ERD can be used to represent the

relationships between different entities in the hospital management system, such as
patients, doctors, nurses, departments, and medical records.
 State-transition diagrams - A state-transition diagram can be used to model the

lifecycle of a patient's stay in the hospital, from admission to discharge. This can
help identify potential bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the process.
 Use case diagrams - Use case diagrams can be used to represent the different
actors in the hospital management system, such as patients, doctors, nurses, and
administrators. They can also show the various use cases for each actor, such as
scheduling appointments, conducting diagnoses, or managing medical records.
 Class diagrams - Class diagrams can be used to represent the different classes or
objects within the hospital management system, such as patients, doctors, and
medical records. They can also show the attributes and methods associated with
each class, as well as the relationships between them.
These analysis models can help to ensure that the hospital management system is
designed effectively, with clear processes and efficient data flow.
9. Summary:
In summary, this is just an example of how a Hospital Management System's SRS
