Write the requirement in business language
Start with the people and the problem: hospital administrators, reception teams and department managers need to connect patient registration with departmental billing and reports because OPD, IPD, laboratory and pharmacy entries remain separated, delaying billing and management reports. A useful project brief should describe the current process before describing technical features.
Section 1: users, roles and real scenarios
List each user group, what information they create, what they can edit, what requires approval and what they can view. Add a typical busy-day scenario and an error-correction scenario.
Section 2: required steps and screens
- Uhid registration
- Opd appointments and consultation
- Ipd admission and advances
- Lab and pharmacy billing
- Discharge and mis
Section 3: outputs and acceptance samples
- Patient ledger
- Daily collection report
- Bed occupancy report
- Department-wise billing
Section 4: business rules and exceptions
- Patient data privacy
- Billing category setup
- User access by department
Section 5: technology and delivery
Specify devices, hosting responsibilities, integrations where actually needed, data migration, branding, responsive behavior and any language or print constraints. Do not prescribe a technology solely because another company uses it.
Section 6: testing and sign-off
Each requirement should have a test input, an expected result and the name of an approving stakeholder. Track billing reconciliation after launch to judge whether the project achieved its intended purpose.
