You have been put in a role of the CIO, Chief Information Officer (you may choose the type of facility.) Looking at the guidelines about development of information systems, create a plan of action to get your facility on the road to changes in information systems. What type of questions should you ask yourself in the different phases of the system development life cycle? Look at each phase objectively and tell how you would handle each phase for your project.
Discussion responses should be on topic, original, and contribute to the quality of the discussion by making frequent informed references to lesson material. Initial discussion responses should be around 100 words.
Link to book reading to answer question. Starts on page 857. The different phases are:
1. Planning
2. Analysis
3. Design
4. Implementation
5. Maintenance and evaluation
Professor's comment:
Hello Class,
As you read the material for the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), consider the importance of each phase. As you, the CIO in the scenario above, create your plan, the SDLC should be observed to help you move toward a successful implementation. It is important not to skip over or minimize the initial steps of planning and analysis as they lay the ground work for the rest of the project. With experience on many system projects, I have observed the more time spent on the front end, the smoother and more successful the development and implementation phases were. Having strong business analysis to gather the business requirements and functional specifications help frame the implementation so there is less rework and greater user acceptance. It can be difficult to get busy clinicians to participate in the planning process for technology projects, but if you find the right ones they will embrace it and be a valuable asset to your planning team. Class, have you been involved in any system development projects? If so, please share with us information about the analysis phase.
