Successful Implementation of Electronic Health Information Technology The Systems Development Life Cycle

Electronic health information technology has transformed the healthcare field, but the triumphant execution of electronic health information technology needs cautious planning, deliberated thinking, including a devotion to change management. Triumphant execution of electronic health information technology needs heedful planning, execution, and continuing appraisal. The first tactic is to evaluate the organization’s preparedness for electronic health information technology execution, involving the organization’s culture, infrastructure, including resources (Fennelly et al., 2020). Including critical stakeholders, like clinicians, staff, patients, and technology pundits, is vital in the planning and execution process. The second step is to choose and execute the appropriate electronic health information technology system, meeting the organization’s requirements and needs. Tutoring and sustenance for all users are crucial to ensure the effectual and coherent use of the electronic health information technology system. Continuing appraisal of the electronic health information technology system is appropriate in ensuring that it is meeting the organization’s goals and objectives and remaining current and updated with new technology and supervisory needs (Zhang et al., 2018). Victorious execution of electronic health information technology can enhance patient care, improve efficiency, minimize costs, and improve patient safety.
