A Standish Group (1994) study showed that only 16% of all information technology projects come in on time and within budget. The situation is not better concerning health information systems. Many health information system implementations are less than completely successful (Berg, 2001; Giuse & Kuhn, 2003; Lorenzi & Riley, 2003). In this article, the health information system means “a system, whether automated or manual, that comprises people, machines and /or methods organized to collect, process, transmit, and disseminate” data that represent user information in healthcare (Kuhn & Giuse, 2001, pp. 275). What is successful implementation and whose success is measured? Successes can be measured in many ways. Delone and McLean have been finding out the success factors of management information system which are also applicable to health information system. The success factors are: system qualities, e.g., the ease of use or time savings, information quality, e.g., completeness or data accuracy, usage, e.g., the frequency of use or the number of entries, user satisfaction, e.g., user-friendliness or overall satisfaction, individual impact, e.g., changed work practices or direct benefits and organizational impact, e.g., communication and collaboration or impact on patient care. Furthermore, user involvement during system development, implementation and organizational culture have been identified as possible factors measuring the success. However, the need for further research to determine which attributes are the most useful ones in measuring success has also been revealed. (van der Meijden, Tange, Troost & Hashman, 2003). The different phases in implementation process are, in general, user needs and requirements analysis (specification), system design, initial system implementation and testing (Ahmad, Teater, Bentley, Kuehn, Kumar, Thomas & Me-khjian, 2002; Schuster, Hall, Couse, Swayngim & Kohatsu, 2003; Souther, 2001). The system requirements analysis includes workflow analysis, and the initial system implementation includes the technical installation of the information system, integration of the information system to other information systems and users’ training. Project management is an important factor in every phase of the implementation project. The purpose of this article is to highlight the health information system implementation process from end-user perspective. Which factors are crucial in the implementation process from the point of view of the end-users? How does project management contribute to the implementation process, what is the role of the end-user in system designing and how does training effect the information system implementation?

The Community Health Information Development (CHID) Project, a project for NSW Health, was initiated in August 1994. The goal of CHID was to assess the feasibility of an information system for this sector of the NSW health system which could answer questions on the business functions, performance measurement, service planning and service quality of community health. An organisational structure and process were developed by October 1994. That organisational structure and process were utilised for the assessment of the community health environment to determine the feasibility of, and requirements for, a community health information system. A brief overview of the four interrelated Working Parties' findings: Service Domains; Common Data Set; Information Management; and, Information Technology is provided. The key concepts in the Community Health Information Model (CHIM), a deliverable of the Information Management Strategy, is then outlined. This model, built through extensive consultation with community health workers, is accompanied by a dictionary which outlines each community health entity and attribute. The Community Health Information Model has 230 entities, approximately 485 attributes and 357 relationships between those entities and attributes and provides a common language for communication within community health. An overview of the Community Health Function Model, a companion model for the CHIM, is then provided. A Function Model describes the processes which generate the entities and attributes in an Information Model. The Function Model is also used to inform the scope of information system development, the next phase of this project. Following completion of the assessment phase in November 1994, a Business Case for the development of an information system for community health was accepted by the executive of NSW Health (the NSW health department). The paper outlines briefly, progress on the development of the information system and the proposed timeline for implementation.

Abstract—The need for information system development in a company is a basic requirement that must be met by each company in order to run its business processes properly. This is the basic key in a company in order to provide maximum results to find as many profits or profits. Application development or requirements in the application also provide speed for employees to carry out their activities to work properly and optimally. The development of the era requires that companies must be productive and have innovations so that the business wheel of the company can run well. This is based on the development of technology that is so fast that it requires special expertise in its application. This research is expected to be able to help some problems that exist in a company. Where its application can make it easier for employees to carry out their respective duties and roles in order to maximize their potential. For companies, the application of this application can accommodate the company's business wheels so that they can be properly and correctly documented .   Keywords : Systems, Information, Applications
