Description
Minimum 2200 words Max 2500 words
You have been asked to analyse an existing organisation and through systematic fact finding, research and documentation, you will then identify operational processes within that organisation.
In this assignment you will be playing the role of a Business Analyst who has been selected by management of Opal Health Care. The task is to analyse the current protocols within a section of the organisation. In particular, you will be investigating the possible changes to information systems and staff processes in the monitoring of residents.
Opal Health Care’s primary focus is to facilitate provided-managed care (PMC) for residents. Recently they are discussing the concept of moving into self-managed care (SMC) for residents.
In particular, their goal is to maximise the SMC time for all residents. The idea is to monitor the possible scenarios that may create a transition from SMC to PMC.
Areas of interest for their residents are:
- Health Management
- Reporting system
- Executive Summary
- Why was the research was performed?
- What are the major findings?
- What are the next steps?
- Introduction
- Report Goals
- What is the goal/s and objective/s of this report and target audience?

- Identify 3 processes (you would change) and for each one give a:
- Process statement,
- Goal (link back to process identified),
- Objectives (to measure the goal),
- Requirements (for objectives)
- Constraints (for objectives)
- Link this back to your each one of the processes you identified in the last section.
- In other words, you may have more than one next step for each process identified
- This is a roadmap not a solution
