The reason behind any unsuccessful project is mostly because the requirements were not gathered correctly and weren’t clear at the start of the project. This is also true for most of the healthcare projects where the customers are usually aren’t clear about the requirement. They tend to incorporate many changes in all the project phases leading to project delays.

So what exactly is a requirement gathering or requirement elicitation? It can be defined as the process of generating a list of requirements either function, system, or technical from various stakeholders like customers, users, vendors, IT staff, etc. which will be used by the project team. (Inflectra, January 29, 2020). This includes three phases requirement gathering, documentation, and understanding.

The gathering phases means getting the details from all the new customers who will be end-users of the newly formed systems. The documentation phase is to create user stories, software, and feature specifications document which can be easily accessed by the development team. The requirement understating phase is to make sure that all the team members are well versed about what they expected to build. So let’s look at some of the important points to consider while gathering business requirements for a healthcare project:
 Communicate with the actual stakeholders
 Document and sign every communication
 Set project goals at the start
 Never assume requirements and be transparent
 Prioritize product features
