1. Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle
Nurses in the Systems Development Life CycleNurses in the Systems Development Life
CycleIn the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an
important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care
and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of
new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of
nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.In this
Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the
ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.To Prepare:·
Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the
Resources.· Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your
healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health
information technology system.· Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made
at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.By Day 3 of
Week 9ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSPost a description of what
you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in
each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information
technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC
and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain
whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information
technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain
potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and
provide examples.At least 3 peer reviewed citations. APA 7TH EditionLearning
