Comprehensive Requirements Document for Advanced EHR System

1. Introduction
This document provides an in-depth outline of user roles, needs, functional, and non-
functional requirements for the development of an Advanced Electronic Health Record
(EHR) system using the following technology stack:
- Backend: Python with Django
- Frontend: PySide6 for a desktop-based interface
- Database: MySQL or PostgreSQL

This stack is selected for its flexibility, scalability, and ability to handle complex workflows
inherent in healthcare systems.

2. User Roles
2.1 Administrators
- Manage user accounts, roles, and permissions.
- Monitor system activity and logs for security and compliance.
- Oversee system configurations, including backup schedules and updates.

2.2 Doctors
- Access, update, and manage patient medical records.
- Record diagnoses and prescribe medications electronically.
- Request lab tests and review results.
- Communicate with nurses and other staff about patient care.

2.3 Nurses
- Record and update patient vital signs and progress.
- Administer medications as prescribed.
- Execute and track tasks assigned by doctors.

2.4 Pharmacists
- Dispense medications based on prescriptions.
- Manage the inventory of drugs and supplies.
- Collaborate with doctors to resolve prescription issues.

2.5 Lab Technicians


- Process and document lab test results.
- Notify doctors of abnormal findings.

2.6 Receptionists
- Schedule and manage appointments.
- Register new patients and update demographic information.
- Assist with admissions and discharges.
2.7 IT Support
- Ensure system availability and performance.
- Perform backups and implement security measures.
- Troubleshoot technical issues for users.

3. Functional Requirements
- Register new patients with full demographic details.
- Update and retrieve patient medical histories.
- Manage patient admissions, discharges, and transfers.
- Record and update clinical notes with timestamps.
- Support for attaching scanned documents or images.
- Standardized diagnosis coding (e.g., ICD-10).
- Create and send electronic prescriptions to pharmacists.
- Manage prescription statuses (e.g., pending, dispensed).
- Drug interaction warnings and dosage calculators.
- Allow doctors to request tests with detailed instructions.
- Enable technicians to input and finalize results.
- Notify users of abnormal or critical results.
- Assign tasks to specific roles or users.
- Track task progress and completion statuses.
- Provide reminders for overdue tasks.
- Generate patient-specific or system-wide reports.
- Monitor key performance metrics (e.g., patient load, lab turnaround time).
- Export data in multiple formats (e.g., CSV, PDF).
- Real-time alerts for critical events (e.g., abnormal test results).
- Reminders for upcoming appointments and medications.
- User-specific notifications for pending tasks.
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for secure access.
- Logs to track user activities and changes to data.
- Tools for resetting passwords and managing accounts.

4. Non-Functional Requirements
- The system should support up to 500 concurrent users initially, with scalability to 5,000
users.
- Ensure sub-2-second response times for critical operations like patient record retrieval.
- Encrypt sensitive data using AES-256 for storage and HTTPS for transmission.
- Comply with healthcare data regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Intuitive UI designed for healthcare professionals with minimal technical expertise.
- Accessibility features for users with disabilities.
- 99.9% system uptime.
- Automatic backups with 12-hour frequency and disaster recovery within 1 hour.
- Modular codebase for easy updates and bug fixes.
- Detailed documentation for developers and IT staff.
- Desktop compatibility using PySide6 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Support for database engines like MySQL and PostgreSQL.

5. Technology Stack
- Backend: Django (Python)
- Frontend: PySide6 (Python Qt bindings for GUI development)
- Database: MySQL or PostgreSQL
- Hosting: Cloud-based (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) with Dockerized deployment
- Tools: Nginx for serving static files, Gunicorn for handling requests
- Security: Encryption libraries (e.g., PyCryptodome for data encryption) and Django’s built-
in security features

6. AI and ML Features and Requirements


6.1 Functional Requirements
- Enable uploading of radiology and imaging files, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, in
standard formats (e.g., DICOM).
- Store imaging files securely with metadata for easy retrieval and processing.
- Integrate AI models for automatic interpretation of medical images, including detection of
anomalies such as fractures, tumors, or lesions.
- Generate structured reports based on AI analysis for radiologists to review.
- Provide interactive tools for radiologists to annotate images and compare AI-generated
results with manual assessments.
- Enable predictive analytics for patient outcomes based on imaging data and historical
records.
- Facilitate image enhancement features, such as noise reduction and contrast adjustment,
using ML algorithms.

6.2 Non-Functional Requirements


- Ensure compliance with healthcare AI regulations (e.g., FDA, EU MDR) for diagnostic tools.
- Maintain a latency of under 5 seconds for AI processing of standard imaging files.
- Ensure model training and deployment adhere to data privacy laws (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
- Implement secure storage and access control for sensitive imaging data.
- Support integration with popular AI frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Provide scalability for AI processing to handle up to 1,000 imaging files per day initially,
with room for growth.
- Ensure interpretability of AI models by providing confidence scores and visual overlays for
detected anomalies.

7. Updated Conclusion
This document outlines the foundational aspects of the EHR system, focusing on user roles,
functional requirements, non-functional requirements, AI/ML features for radiology and
imaging, and the technology stack. The integration of AI/ML enhances the system's
capabilities, enabling automated image processing, predictive analytics, and improved
diagnostic accuracy. The combination of Python, Django, PySide6, and AI technologies
ensures a scalable, secure, and intelligent system for healthcare organizations.
