Which of the following are functional requirements for the MHC-PMS (mental health care patient management system)? Select all that apply.

The system shall be available to all clinics during normal working hours (Mon–Fri, 08:30–17:30).

Each staff member using the system shall be uniquely identified by his or her eight-digit employee number.

The system shall generate each day, for each clinic, a list of patients who are expected to attend appointments that day.

Users of the MHC-PMS system shall authenticate themselves using their health authority identity card.

A user shall be able to search the appointments lists for all clinics.

Correct Answer

(1) A user shall be able to search the appointments lists for all clinics.

(2) The system shall generate each day, for each clinic, a list of patients who are expected to attend appointments that day.

(3) Each staff member using the system shall be uniquely identified by his or her eight-digit employee number.

Explanation

Functional requirements describe specific services and behaviors. Searching appointments and generating daily patient lists are services the system provides. Staff identification by employee number is a behavioral rule the system enforces. Availability hours (08:30–17:30) is a product non-functional requirement, and authentication via identity card is an organizational non-functional requirement.
