What is your subject about? A brief overview
This subject provides students with an opportunity to examine system analysis and design techniques
within a business perspective. This includes knowledge and skills in feasibility analysis, logical design and
development of business systems. More specifically, the object oriented methodology using the Unified
Modelling Language is used as an approach for designing and building relevant systems. In addition, the
structured systems modelling techniques are used to fulfill the requirements of business models. The
students will get in-depth knowledge and experience of various advance systems analysis techniques and
business modelling aspects that lead up to system design and implementation.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, you should:
be able to describe the context of an information system;
be able to compare and contrast the different methodologies of systems analysis and evaluate
their appropriateness for different and complex situations;
2. be able to distinguish between requirement gathering techniques and combine these
appropriately to apply to a real scenario;
be able to evaluate development requirements and prepare a feasibility proposal based on
multi-disciplinary (financial, human resource, technological) analyses;
be able to formulate and justify system requirement models based on evaluation of given
situations;
be able to assemble the components of a requirements model using the tools and techniques
of object oriented or structured systems modelling.
Pass Requirements
A student must obtain at least 50% in both the examination and the total mark in order to pass this

To be eligible for the grade AA or AE you must have submitted all assessment items in the subject,
including the final exam. If you choose not to complete an assessment item or do not sit the final exam
then you will not be granted an AA or an AE grade.
Key Subjects
Passing a key subject is one of the indicators of satisfactory academic progress through your course.
You must pass the key subjects in your course at no more than two attempts. The first time you fail a
key subject you will be 'at risk' of exclusion; if you fail a second time you will be excluded from the
course.
The Academic Progress Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00250) sets out the
requirements and procedures for satisfactory academic progress, for the exclusion of students who
fail to progress satisfactorily and for the termination of enrolment for students who fail to complete in
the maximum allowed time.
Assumed knowledge
Academic integrity means acting with honesty, fairness and responsibility, and involves observing and
maintaining ethical standards in all aspects of academic work. This subject assumes that you understand
what constitutes plagiarism, cheating and collusion. If you are a new student we expect you to complete the
modules called Academic Integrity at CSU

6. Learning, teaching and support strategies
All of your subject materials are available on the Interact2 site. Please ensure that for each topic you
read the learning objectives carefully, read the overview and review the text. Once you have got a feel
for what the topic is about try and make a good set of notes under each of the topic review questions in
that topic.
In this subject there are also many of opportunities for you to engage with me, with your peers and
with the subject. I will be holding 12 Lectures where we can discuss content issues and assessment
items. As part of your assessment in this subject you are required to work alone for all the assessment
items.
It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session, so that you have a focus in the
subject from the very first day and so I have set a small assessment item due in week 3, as part of your
assessment.

Task
Background:
The Commonwealth Government of Australia is launching ‘My Health Record’ a secure online
summary of an individual’s health information.
Available to all Australians, My Health Record is an electronic summary of an individual’s key health
information, drawn from their existing records and is designed to be integrated into existing local
clinical systems.
The ‘My Health Record’ is driven by the need for the Health Industry to continue a process of reform
to drive efficiencies into the health care system, improve the quality of patient care, whilst reducing
several issues that were apparent from the lack of important information that is shared about patients
e.g. reducing the rate of hospital admissions due to issues with prescribed medications. This reform is
critical to address the escalating costs of healthcare that become unsustainable in the medium to long
term.
Individuals will control what goes into their My Health Record, and who is allowed to access it. An
individual’s My Health Record allows them and their doctors, hospitals and other healthcare
providers to view and share the individual’s health information to provide the best possible care.
*Please Note: This is a real project that has already been implemented, however, for this assessment
you are to write your answer as if the project is in its’ the early stages. There is wide variety of
information that can be referenced on this topic.
Complete the Following
You are a Systems Analyst that is part of a project that is being currently being proposed, ‘My Health
Record’, your task is to develop a Vision Document for this project.
Currently funding is being sought to build the ‘My Health Record’ system. We will assume that the
funding has been approved and that you are the business systems analyst assigned to the project.
You are to describe the problem in your own words, and the capabilities and benefits. You need to
create a Project Vision Document which contains:
Problem
Capabilities
Benefits
Specific analysis techniques have not been taught yet, so this assignment does not require
technical descriptions.
Online submission via Turnitin is required for this assignment. Details will be provided by your
subject lec turer in the class or by notification in the subject site.
Rationale
This assignment has been designed to allow students to test and demonstrate their topic understanding
related to:
the context of an information system;

Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards
will be used to assess your work and your progress.
Consider that funding has been approved for a project to build a system that will capture the ‘story’ the
first time it is told, and give access to successive professionals, so that case notes and the story can
become enriched, and the young person can be assisted more appropriately. You are the business
systems analyst assigned to the project, you will need to produce:
Stakeholder map
Draw stakeholder role names on a stakeholder map with 4 quadrants, Internal-
Operation, Internal-Executive, External-Operation, External-Executive
For each stakeholder, describe why they have an interest in the project.
Questionnaire
Create one questionnaire that you would send to one stakeholder group with an aim to help you
identify further details about the environment, the problem area and/or how the system would
operate to help solve the problem.
Identify which stakeholder you are going to send the questionnaire to
Write an introduction statement that would go with the questionnaire explaining the purpose
of the questionnaire
Write 10 questions, either open and/or closed ended questions
This should be written as a questionnaire that could be distributed
Only write the questions, you should not write the answers
Use Case diagram and descriptions
Draw a use case model for the information system
Write brief Use Case description for each Use Case in the diagram
Write one fully developed Use Case description for one of the important Use Cases
identified. Select an important Use Case that is key part of the system, not a basic simple Use
Case.

Assessment Information
Learning materials
Details of learning materials that support your success in this subject can be found in the
Interact2 Subject Site.
Referencing
Referencing is an important component of academic work. All assessment tasks should be
appropriately referenced. The specific details of the referencing requirements are included in
each assessment task description. Get referencing style guides and help
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu) to use for your assessments.
Plagiarism
CSU treats plagiarism seriously. We may use Turnitin to check your submitted work for plagiarism.
You can use Turnitin to check for plagiarism
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu/checking) in your assessments before
submission.
How to apply for special consideration
Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure or
extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which prevents
you from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines. Find the form on the Student Portal Special
Consideration, Misadventure, Advice and Appeals (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/academic-advice)
page.
Extensions
In order to ensure that other students who hand their assignments in on time are not disadvantaged,
and to enable me to comply with the requirement to return assignments to the class within 15
working days, the following rules about extensions will be strictly enforced:
1. Extensions cannot be granted for on-line tests, as these have to be done within a specific
time frame, after which the answers are released to the class automatically.
2. Computer problems (such as the speed of your computer) and normal work-related pressures and
family commitments do not constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions.
3. If it becomes obvious that you are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time
because of an unavoidable problem, you must submit your request for an extension to the
Subject Lecturer in writing (email is acceptable) prior to the due date.
Charles Sturt University Subject Outline
ITC548 201730 S I-18 January 2017-Version 1 Page 15 of 18
28. Requests for extensions will not be granted on or after the due date so you
must make sure that any extension is requested prior to the day on which the
assignment is due.
You are expected to do all you can to meet assignment deadlines. Work and
family- related pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the
granting of extensions or incomplete grades.
4. If you apply for an extension, you may be asked to email your lecturer on
what you have done so far on the assignment.
5. You must be able to provide documentary evidence (such as a certificate from a
doctor or counsellor) justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable -
but please note that if the circumstances giving rise to the request for an
extension arise on a day when you cannot get documentary evidence, you must
still apply for the extension before the due date and submit the documentary
evidence afterwards.
6. Given the tight deadlines involved in returning assignments to students and
putting feedback on Interact, the maximum extension granted generally will
be seven (7) days from the due date.
7. Assignments received more than 10 days after the due date or extension date
will not be marked unless the staff member decides otherwise. Items received
late will be penalised at 10% of the mark available for the assessment item per
day it is late (see below).
8. Note that for purposes of measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00
hrs AEST - so an assignment received after midnight of the due date will be
penalised 10% for lateness. This rule will be applied to all students uniformly.
Penalties for Late Submission
The penalty for late submission of an assessment task (without obtaining the Subject
Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be:
10% deduction per day, including weekends, of the maximum marks allocated for the
assessment task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation would be:
Maximum marks allocated = 20
Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of
12/20 becomes 10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then
the penalty will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above).
Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be
marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be accepted
for any of the assessments required in this subject.
Online Submission
Assessment items that are completed within the Interact 2 site, such as quizzes, tests and
self and peer assessments in the blog and wiki are noted in the assessment section above.
You need to complete these tasks within your subject site.
Unless advised otherwise, all Turnitin submissions are due by midnight (AEST) of the date
specified. Please note that the time and the date of your Turnitin submission will be used to
determine your

Hand Delivered Submission
Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be accepted
for any of the assessments required.
Feedback
Feedback on your assignment can be viewed on Turnitin after the assignment results are
released. You may also approach the lecturer in class for further clarification or feedback
on the assignment.
Assignment Return
If your assignment was submitted on time, you should normally expect your marked
assignment to be despatched/returned to you within 15 business days of the due date. If
an assignment is submitted on time but not returned by the return date, you should make
enquiries in the first instance to the Subject Coordinator. If the subject coordinator is not
available, please contact your teaching team using the contact details and consultation
procedures provided on your Interact2 subject site.
Student Feedback and Learning Analytics
