A nurse’s role is to provide nursing care in a dynamic manner, including interacting with medical providers when providing care. Keeping up with current technology is essential for nurses. Developing efficient and effective information systems is the goal of the systems development life cycle (SDLC).

A Systems Development Life Cycle consists of the following stages:

As a result of the technology system, health-care organizations are able to minimize the amount of manual work required to do their jobs, which results in better patient outcomes. A life cycle diagram of the system development lifecycle (SDLC) is shown below.

• Information delivery processes and procedures that incorporate HIT systems for their viability and usability
• Conducts an evaluation of the efficiency and usability of HIT systems.
• In order to promote health care services, the system needs to be made more efficient.
• The HIT system is implemented, taking into consideration the output that will result.
• Overall system maintenance

HIT systems are still purchased and installed by the finance department and managing director of healthcare organizations. An organization can opt to build its own HIT system or purchase one from a third party during the analysis phase. Identifying what characteristics should be included in the new system is critical. The lack of an understanding that is well-documented and well-understood.

• On the basis of their own knowledge and experiences, nurses could suggest areas in which more attention should be paid in the first stage of the process, assist in the analytical method, and manage initiatives.
• Lack of nurses’ involvement may lead to an inability for beginners to analyze and implement new health information technology systems, and end users’ inability to manage them. A critical requirement for implementing the technology may be overlooked by nurses, as end-users. Nurses should be included in equipment design to avoid costly equipment defects. In the planning process, it is important to develop training programs that clearly define vendor participation. A web page for the nursing department should be set up to provide training materials and user manuals for new systems, along with delivery times and locations for equipment. In order to encourage full stall participation, nurse managers should coordinate training sessions with organizations.

Nurses provide invaluable feedback during the implementation of new technologies, during the trial phase as well as following the official implementation. Especially when scanning the wristband, the BCMA method can be challenging. All of these factors can result in a scanning failure, including smearing, spacing, barcode placement or direction, durability when wet, and patient comfort.  These concerns may be addressed by nurses through a variety of solutions. An evaluation was conducted by nurses to determine whether the wristband information matched the bar code next to it.

Evaluation of projects by nurses. To identify whether concerns are stem-wide or unit-specific, focus groups with direct care nurses are essential. The BCMA PROCESS is often bypassed by nurses, or the patient identification number is entered rather than scanned as a result of system failure. It is useful to conduct short surveys.
