Discussion Post: System Development

As a health care manager, it's important to get buy-in for a system change. To do so, you need to be able to communicate the justification, the research behind it, and the plan for implementing the change.

How do systems development and implementation work together in the health care industry? Provide examples.

Homework

Imagine you have been asked to describe the development and implementation phases of your chosen project to the new IT manager. Although you are writing about the same system as you chose in previous weeks, you will be writing a separate paper about a separate phrase of the project.

Review Figure 10-2 in Ch. 10 of your textbook for an example of development phases.

Create an outline or visual (e.g., graphic organizer, mind map) of the high-level development and implementation phases of your chosen project.

1. What phases are needed to develop and implement your project?
2. What milestones are necessary to accomplish the phases (e.g., project kickoff, project charter)?
3. What challenges could pop up?
4. What questions do you need to ask yourself during this process?
