How many function points would this

 1) patient input/search/modification, no relationship handling

 2) keeping progress notes in simple SOAP structured text input

    fields (clin_note/clin_history/clin_physical rows)

 3) per patient ASCII export of progress notes to text files for

    re-use constrained by date, encounter, episode, health issue

 4) allowing third-party apps to connect to a GnuMed instance,

    lock it into a patient and release that lock later on

 5) drug information browser if data is available locally

 6) document archive optionally

 7) simple ConfigRegistry plus complete default config data

 

amount to ?

This is a pseudo analysis ( no methodology  ; ) playing Ethel the Aardvark (goes quantity surveying).

 

36$ an hour ( if $360 per function point , 10 hours ?)

 

1)       1-3 hours work ; it’s been done to death and then some. ;  1 function point

2)       2-3 function points.

3)       Asciii export to text files of SOAP progress notes;  3 function points. ( face value)

4)       “Allowing “ ,  3 function points, but  Programming the third party app?

5)        Drug info browser – txt based, requires search, ( 4 different types ?  4 function points), browsing ( 1 function point?), info display 2 function points

6)       archiving document using compression library ? –  compression , decompression , indexing -  4 function points.

7)       Already done – 2 function points.

 

1 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 23 funciton points .  x 10 hours – 230 hours.

 

… Add testing multiply by 10 = 2300 hours.

 

Divide by 23 active developers -  100 hours each.  Say 10 hours a week, 10 weeks with 23 developers with well defined tasks.

 

Integration time ( optimistic, included).

 

Quite economical ? -  $360 per function point x 230 function points. ~ $80000
