Scenario:

Adam, a $55-$year$-$old male is admitted to your hospital for an elective removal of his spleen. The nurses, operating

surgeon and anesthesiologist are all employed by the hospital, which is self$-$insured for professional liability. The

procedure is technically challenging due to the patient's obesity but appears to go smoothly.

Adam is discharged after $3$ days and has mild, persistent abdominal pain. The medical team attributes the pain to the

surgical incision. When Adam returns for his $2-$week post$-$operative check at the surgeon's office, he reports increasing

abdominal pain and a $3-$day history of a low$-$grade fever.

An X$-$ray of the abdomen reveals a surgical sponge. Adam undergoes another surgery to remove the sponge, at which

time an abdominal infection is discovered. The surgery is performed by a different surgical team at the same hospital.

Deliverables:

Part $1($worth $25$ marks$)$ is a document that should not be more than $4$ pages and should contain the rationale of your UML designs and message model with a list of all assumptions $($reasonable$)$ and their justification $($should be described in separate sections$)$

$1.$ Attach at least $3$ UML models in the appendix for the entire scenario $($which includes charts such as class, use$-$case, interaction, activity, and state, but not limited to the said$)$

$2.$ Narrate the message design process, after you have chosen one message implementation for any of the message transactions that you have captured in the UML diagrams within the given scenario

$3.$ Provide a justification for why you choose the particular HL$7$ version for your message

implementation.

$4.$ The message implementation $($using HL$7$ v$2.$x or v$3)$ diagrams$/$details should be submitted as part of the appendix

$5.$ Provide screenshots on the challenges faced and narrate how you addressed these challenges $($screenshots are to be attached in the appendix section$)$

$6.$ Appendices are not considered for the page limit specified above$)$
