A health authority is planning to centralise its medical booking system. This will allow all medical bookings such as doctors’ appointments and hospital appointments to be made online. The health authority is considering whether to implement the system using Pilot Running or Direct Changeover. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of implementing this system using these methods. Include in your answer the method you think the health authority should use, giving a reason for your choice. The health authority has implemented the system and it is now in full use. Evaluation now needs to take place. For each of the following, identify two questions that could be asked in order to evaluate the new system. Efficiency Ease of use Appropriateness The ambulances used by the health authority are fitted with RFID chips. These are scanned when the ambulance approaches traffic signals. If the ambulance is on an emergency call the lights automatically change to green. Describe, in detail, what happens when the ambulance approaches the traffic signals prior to the computer instructing the traffic lights to change to green. The traffic controller is considering changing to a number plate recognition system on all traffic lights. State the advantages and disadvantages of using RFID technology rather than number plate recognition in this scenario.
