Then you're going to have to get out and do some legwork. Talk to the hospitals. Find out what they want. It's called market research; without it you'll end up creating an application that doesn't do what they need it to do.

Beyond requirements from your specific customers, you should also consider legal and other institutional regulations: are there any laws regarding hospital information systems in your country, at least for specific modules of such a system? Are there rules for encoding diagnoses and procedures (e.g. ICD or OPS codes, diagnoses related groups)? Are there rules for billing? Exchanging data with insurance companies? Exchanging data with general practitioneers? Are there restrictions for accessing patient data? You could also look at existing hospital information systems. There are also systems with source code available, e.g. http://www.hospital-os.com/en/[^].

Yep. Do you have any domain experience for hospitals or these types of applications? Do you have a domain experience with large systems? If the answer to either of those is no then I suspect you need to forget about any attempt to create a general solution. The learning curve is is significant and given that you are suggesting that you have a real customer then they probably are not going to wait forever for you to figure out a general solution. Other than that you might also note that electronic imaging records in terms of patient records represents a huge data storage requirement. If you intend to handle that then just getting that right can be a huge requirement.

I dont have Domain Expertise. But what if, I collaborate with the client in order to develop a system on which we both will work. His Domain Expertise in terms with Business Logic, My Development Expertise and Hire an Mentor to Guide on the Project. Data Storage is huge, but i have expertise over that. and will seek guidance on the same from all of you in this forum. I agree with the learning Curve, that is what i want to shorten in this project. Hiring an external mentor who has done such project will help? Because if i dont make a general solution then my cost of developing the application will not be covered with a single client. I am also looking to make it Open Source, there are No or Very Few .Net Based Open Source Hospital Management Project. Whats Your Take on that?

Whats Your Take on that?Success in open source is based on interest and number of people that can use it. Some open source projects have been much more successful because a company became interested in it and were willing to pay their employees to work on it. I doubt that there are large numbers of people interested so the only way it will succeed is if a company sponsors it or if a few individuals are willing to dedicate the time to it (for years.)

Hey, hey, hey! Write any crap that fits your current client's needs. When you try to sell it to someone else and he requires new things, just inherit from the old object and add new operations. Isn't that the essence of Object-Oriented Programming?

I hope this is not a college project, you want to build sophesticated application for an industry, you won't get it here, Think of purchasing some old project which already built and you can enhance it or do business requirement from your end for the same, it helps in all aspects. In this you get what exactly you are looking at....
