1. Introduction
1.1 Goals and objectives The purpose of this document is to describe requirements for the Medical records and Billing software that will serve as a foundation for the final product. It is important that an agreement of these requirements be reached so that everyones expectations will be met. This document uses written descriptions as well as various types of modeling diagrams to illustrate the high level structure of the application. Although some of these diagrams may seem to convey similar information they typically do so from an alternate perspective. This gives different stakeholders a view of the requirements that is better suited to their area of responsibility. A Land based solution will be delivered so that even though there is no internet connection the system can still be used. Visual Basic 6 programming language will be use because it is user friendly for the users and easy to maintain. Microsoft Access will be used to store information and it is the main database container for the medical records of the patient and their billings. The Medical Records and Billing System is intended to provide a computer based system that will assist in managing a diagnostic clinic. Many of the typical functions involved in operating a Diagnostic clinic will be automated through software to improve the operational workflow within the facility. The system is expected to help Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic because of its ability to automatically compute the patient's bills, generates reports and official receipt that surely fasten their transactions with the patients. Laboratory procedures and other procedures will be updated and presented in precision. With the help of this proposed computerized system the Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic can easily keep track and maintain each patient's information. 1.2 Statement of scope This section contains a general description of the software functionality followed by detailed requirements that will be traced throughout the project. Before gaining access to the Medical Records and Billing system an employee will be required to enter their user name and password. An employees access privileges within the system are determined by their job classification. All the medical staff has the authority to access the system. After inputting it will track the services that each patient undergoes. This system also includes the billing system of the Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic; the automated calculation of patients total payment, change and printing of receipt. This system tries to eliminate the manual patient monitoring and billing system that is currently used by Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic. All information from the transaction of a patient will be recorded, even the laboratory procedures and medicines. With this information, the patient bills will be automatically computed and generated. The system also includes Discounts and other privileges in the billing process. The system does not include the payroll of employees.

1.3 Software context Today, computerization is a major advancement in technology that helps in many ways: it makes information storage easier and faster thus it can save a lot of time and manpower, and many tasks are done in a certain amount of time. Great amount of time is being consumed by information retrieval and the billing process of most Diagnostic Clinics without computer generated system is slow. To be able to provide the medical needs of the rapidly growing population, Diagnostic Clinics must be versatile to the current trends and innovation in today's changes in technology.

One of the concerns of Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic is how to lessen the number paper works in having a transaction with the patient that could fasten the process of admission, discharging and billing of a patient. This greatly affects the profitability of the institution that makes the admission and billing of patients a long process.

Another concern is how to extend the accuracy in computing the patient bills, which is very essential in Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic. Because some patients are so smart that they can find a way that they do not have to pay the Clinic bills. Some are having a difficulty in paying because of the slow process of computation which can take less or more than a month depends on the number of laboratory procedures or other cases.

Observing the institution; the researchers decided to propose a computerized medical records and billing system that is intended to solve the concerns that they discovered. Efficient medical records and billing management greatly affect Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic such as medical services, billing policies and price rates. With the help of this proposed computerized system the Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic can easily keep track and maintain each patient's information.

The computerized medical records and billing system is expected to help Medcrest Multispecialty Diagnostic Clinic because of its ability to automatically compute the patient's bills, generates reports and official receipt that surely fasten their transactions with the patients.

1.4 Major constraints

The Medical records and Billing system will use Microsoft Visual Studio 6 or Visual Basic 6 which is fit to replaced the current client manual system.

3.2 Relationships In order for a patient to have an account with the Medcrest Multi-Specialty Diagnostic Cinic they must have a consultation or test in order for them to have their medical record. Since a patient can have a multiple test to a doctor a one-to-many relationship exists. It is also true that a patient and med tech cannot exist alone in the MRBC system. In general all patients must have doctor assigned to them or requested by them and a patient without a laboratory, X-ray ultrasound or ObGyn test has no need to register for the Medcrest Multi-Specialty Diagnostic Cinic. A patient will receive a new bill on each test so a one-to-many relationship exists. The bill will issued by the employee and every gathered test will be included in the bill. The discount like senior citizen, doctor, lab to lab may avail by the patient whos fitted on the said discount. A patient record can have different test type so one-to-many relationship exists. The patient can request for their medical record if they want. The employees just need to search for the patient name and print the medical record. A Med tech can be assigned to any patient so one-to-many relationship exist. The med tech can conduct test on every patient and they are the only personnel who can edit the result of the test. An Administrator can edit patient, test, user information so one-to-many relationship exists. The admin has the only authority to access all the transaction. The other user has a restricted access to the system. A Test like laboratory, X-ray ultrasound or ObGyn test can be avail by one patient so there is a many-to-one relationship. Every test there will be a med tech assigned so one-to-one relationship exist. Each room in the clinic can accommodate one person at a time so a one-to-one relationship exists between room and patient.

6. Restrictions, Limitations, and Constraints

The system shall integrate within the existing LAN structure and with the existing systems, such as the database management systems. It is made in the visual basic 6 programming language therefore it is not a web based system. The database is done in Microsoft Access and not appropriate for a web based system. Visual Basic Studio or Visual Basic 6 should be installed in the computer.

7. Validation Criteria
Software validation will ensure that the system responds according to the users expectations; therefore it is important that the end users be involved in some phases of the test procedure. All tests will be traced back to the requirements in section 1.2. 7.1 Classes of tests

Unit testing will be conducted on all of software subsystems including 1. Accessing Transaction 2. Viewing and editing information 3. Viewing and printing reports 4. Logging on to the system 5. Adding Patient Information 6. Viewing Billing Reports 7. Adding, Editing and Deleting User Account. Test cases for black box testing will be based on equivalence categories. These categories will include values that lie on and around the boundary values of a function. For example, if a function can accept values from 0 to 100 then the test cases will include the values -1, 0, 1, 99, 100, and 101. Acceptance testing will be conducted at the customers site.

7.2 Expected software response

The software should display an appropriate error message when a value outside the accepted limits is entered. The software should not be capable of deleting a patient record even if they withdraw from the Diagnostic Clinic.

7.3 Performance Bounds

The system shall support up to a thousand information of patient and username. The system will provide access to the database management system with a latency of no more than 20 seconds.
