Abstract

Turnkey projects tend to have short project execution times, rapid return on investment, and minimal delays, but there are a number of aspects that must be considered when implementing them for optimal success. C-DAC has been involved in implementation of a turnkey solution for computerization of Hospitals and e-Governance by AHIMS and other solutions.

As software development becomes more complex, most software development life cycle methodologies cannot efficiently adapt to customer requirements that are changing dynamically or dependent upon delaying policy decisions. So, Agile methodology was developed to respond to changes quickly and smoothly. Agile methodology is a collection of values, principles, and practices that incorporates iterative development, test, and feedback into a new style of development considering the very tight schedule and implementation constraints. This paper presents implementation of agile testing methodologies in currently going Turnkey solutions for AHIMS and e-Governance projects.

Abstract

Implementation of Hospital Information System is a bit scarce especially with the regard to developing countries. This paper aims to look into the problem faced while implementation. This paper also aims to provide a better understanding of Advance Hospital information system (AHIS) testing and implementation and serves as a guide to anyone who wishes to implement an AHIS in such an environment. The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) is a large public sector hospital in India that is currently in process of implementing the AHIS project so the experiences&problem encountered during its first phase implementation has been tried to extract out into this paper.

Keywords

Hospital Information System, Implementation Difficulties, System Testing, Test Life Cycle, User Acceptance Testing.
