Q2: What information do you need to find out about the Child Health Information System to develop a detailed understanding of the current system?
Ans: Inorder to develop a detailed understanding of the current system, I feel that the information has to be gathered in various categories like Economic, Technical, functional, and several other aspects in general.
Detailed description is as follows:
Fundamental issues:
Key person to be contacted in Health Department
Representative of WHO involved with this project
Data/Information that can be contributed by Health Dept. and WHO towards this project
Economic:
The budget that can be allotted by the Health Department for this project
Other sources of funds that can flow in to meet the requirements and develop a complete project
General:
Number of health centres that are existing throughout the country
Staff details at different centres
Specifications if any, in classifying the children as per the age groups and vaccinate them accordingly
Technical:
Hardware requirements at different Health centres
Computer/Technical knowledge of the staff members
Whether training is requied for the staff and assistance is requied in maintaining the project
whether the Health Department is interested in incorporating any future enhancements
Security:
Hierarchial Structure of staff in the health dept
Authorized persons to get access
Public or Private network requirement
Scheduling:
Expected date of completion
Required date of enforcement(project becomes functional)
