NURS 8200 Week 4: System Development Life Cycle

NURS 8200 Week 4 Discussion

Discussion: HIT Projects and Decision Makers

HIT Projects and Decision Makers

A nurse leader sought to implement greater security in the children’s wing of the hospital by installing a new alarm and monitoring system. Due to budget constraints, the CNO rejected the proposal, stating that current security methods were sufficient. Shortly after this failed proposal, an individual did in fact breach the children’s wing security and abducted a young child. Thankfully, the child was found and returned to her parents; and the CNO quickly found the money to install the new security system.

Not all HIT projects have such high-profile stakes. The main takeaway from this example is the importance of getting key stakeholders and decision makers on board when planning a new HIT project.

By Day 6 respond to at least two of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways:

• Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or research.
• Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives.
• Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own research in the Walden Library.
• Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
• Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings.
• Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives based on readings and evidence.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.

SAMPLE RESPONSE TO A DISCUSSION POST

In response to your post on the role and impact of different stakeholders in the health information technology, I hereby share my contribution. The planning and the analysis stages of software development life cycle (SDLC) are the most important. Majority of the healthcare industries products fail for they spend between 10-15% of the resources in the two phases (McMurtrey, 2013).To generate better results, they should not be ignored.

The successful implementation of health information technology is dependent on various stakeholders such as; financial stakeholders, medical leaders, vendors, billing and auditing function and patients who play different roles (EW & Grove D, 2016). The decision makers in the health care have different impacts. Clinicians expect that patient records will ensure correctness of diagnosis and treatment. The billing and auditing function expect that the health information technology will meet the projected budget. The medical leaders can only hope that health information technology meets the requirements and enhance quality health care vision.
