To create a use case model for a referral hospital, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify Actors:
- Patients
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Receptionists
- Billing Staff
- Administrators
2. Identify Use Cases:
- Patient Registration
- Schedule Appointment
- Refer Patient
- Conduct Consultation
- Manage Medical Records
- Billing and Payment
- Discharge Patient
- Order Tests
- Access Test Results
3. Draw the Use Case Diagram:
Using UML notation, represent the identified actors and use cases.
Example Structure:
- Place actors outside the system boundary (a rectangle).
- Draw ovals for each use case within the system boundary.
- Connect actors to the use cases they interact with using lines.
Sample Diagram (Textual Representation):
+-------------------+
| Referral Hospital |
| |
| +-------------+ |
| | Patient | |
| +-------------+ |
| +-------------+ |
| | Doctor | |
| +-------------+ |
| +-------------+ |
| | Nurse | |
| +-------------+ |
| +-------------+ |
| | Receptionist | |
| +-------------+ |
| +-------------+ |
| | Billing Staff | |
| +-------------+ |
| +-------------+ |
| | Administrator | |
| +-------------+ |
| |
+-------------------+
Use Cases:
- Patient Registration
- Schedule Appointment
- Refer Patient
- Conduct Consultation
- Manage Medical Records
- Billing and Payment
- Discharge Patient
- Order Tests
- Access Test Results
4. Describe Interactions:
- Patients interact with registration and appointment scheduling.
- Doctors refer patients, conduct consultations, and access medical records.
- Nurses assist in patient care and manage records.
- Receptionists handle patient registration and appointment scheduling.
- Billing Staff manage billing processes.
- Administrators oversee the overall functioning of the hospital system.
Conclusion:
This diagram serves as a foundation for understanding how different roles interact with various functionalities within a referral hospital. You can use UML software (like Lucidchart, Visual Paradigm, or draw.io) to create a polished version of this diagram.
