2. General description:
2.1 Application description: The user will enter all the billing information for a particular patient. This will include the type of the patient (inpatient/outpatient and corporate/individual), type of billing (for inpatient the mode of bill payment may be post-paid but for outpatient it should be prepaid). The user will also have to select the laboratory tests done by the patient, the date of discharge of the patient and the amount of discount if there is any.2.2 Interface description: The user will have to be familiar with the billing module. If needed, the user should be trained up to use this module. The user may be an administrator, nurse or a cashier. It depends upon the particular hospital.
3. Task & Function:
3.2.1 Tasks and functions of the system:
Almost all the functional requirement validating the input data, updating of some Module pages and checking deadlines.
3.2.2 Original Task:
The original goal of this project is to develop new Web-based software for the HMS and Process control and monitoring.
The administration included the following tasks:
v Signing on for authorization: Administrator manages site security and permissions features and can make site-wide changes. It's usually the person who first set up the site.
4. External interfaces
Input from the user will be via keyboard input and mouse point and click. The user will navigate through the software by clicking on icons and links. The icons will give appropriate responses to the given input
4.1) Technology Used: Oracle 9i, JAVA
5. Other functionalities:
5.1 Security: Each member is required to enter an individual password when accessing the site. Administrators have the option of increasing the level of password security their members must use. The data on your site is secured through multiple layers of protection. One of those security layers involves member passwords. For maximum security of your site, each member must protect their password.
5.2 Performance requirements:
The performance of our product is at its best if stored locally, as the response time will be much faster. If the product accessed via Internet, the performance is limited by the connection speed. The only foreseen limitation is that of web-server response.
5.3 Safety:
Humans are error-prone, but the negative effects of common errors should be limited. E.g., users should realize that a given command will delete data, and be asked to confirm their intent or have the option to undo.
5.4 User Documentation
The form generation language will be separately documented.

How to evaluate at the end of the course the results in relation with the quality plan?
The goals have a priority which goes from 10 to 1, from the most important to the less important.
The overall of the course could be evaluated in the following way:
Each goal is given a grade which goes from 0 to 10.
Then that grade is multiplied by its priority in the table After doing the same with all the goals, they are added together and divided by 5.5 this way is possible to get a percentage of how the quality plan has been accomplished. For example : let's suppose that the group gets a 5 in each of the goals of the quality plan, this would mean that in average the overall of the project group has met 54.54 % of the initial requirements. The total of the points in this case would be 300, then 300/5.5 = 54.54%
