Case Study

1.) The most suitable system would be a peer-to-peer network. Village A can be connected to the hospital via internet, sharing its information with the hospital via internet connection. Village B can store its information onto portable devices and send one weekly to the hospital so that the hospital's databases can be updated on what it needs to know about the patients in Village B. Village C can keep all of its data on paper and, when necessary, use its mobile phone to communicate its data to the ospital so it can be recorded and stored in its database.







a.) Stakeholders include the hospital and its employees and patients, who rely on hospital technology for diagnosis and treatment assistance. The people of the health clinics in each village are also stakeholders because they rely on the IT to keep their records up to date with the hospital so that the hospital can stay up to date with their health and help them if need be.





b.) Advantages are that the villages will be able to stay connected with the hospital and update their records easier and quicker. This is good because the hospital can have updated records for their patients and spend less time updating them while the patient is being treated. The hospital also will have



c.) The people responsible are the people that created the technology, the people that purchased it, and the people that use it.



d.) The people accountable are the people that build the specific technology that was used, the people that purchased it, and, depending on how it was used, the people who used it.



e.) Laws regarding privacy about a patient's personal records apply, because it is possible for personal information about patients to be abused and exploited if it is stored technology.
