Stakeholders There are many steps for selecting and acquiring an information system for an organization. An organization will need to know that their current system needs to be replaced. The need for replacement might be because the current system no longer fits the organizations needs or the costs to maintain the current system are too high. From there the steps are planning, selection, implementation, and support of a new health care information system, (Wagner, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, p. 5). “The primary focus of this planning and analysis phase is on the business problem, or the organizations strategy, independent of any technology that can or will be used,” (Wagner, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, p. 8).

...Information System Briefing Boston’s Mobile Mammography Van has been helping women receive a free mammography for the past five years. This mobile service travels around Massachusetts with licensed technologists and radiologists on board. Since the beginning of the Mobile Mammography Van all paperwork and documentation has been done manually. “The current lack of a software system introduces risks due to potential regulatory issues, patient safety issues due to potential missed follow-up, as well as program risks due to potential loss of funding” (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, para. 9). Implementing a new software system will benefit the Mobile Mammography Van greatly. This paper is intended to identify the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection process, and identify the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection process. Selecting and Acquiring an Information System When an organization is selecting and acquiring a new information system there is a great deal of planning and steps they must take to implement the system properly.

...Information System Briefing HCS/483 January 13, 2014 Introduction There takes a great deal of time, and much planning, when implementing the process of selecting and acquiring an information system (IS) in a health care organization. This process may vary from organization to organization, but still remains highly crucial to the success of the organization. Medical professionals must be informed on the details prior to beginning the process of acquiring an information system, how the organization’s goals drive the selection process and the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process. One of the most important decisions to be made is whether to choose between outsourcing the information system and/or to bring in Information Technology (IT) technicians to work within the organization. The considering organization must ask, “What expense are we willing to spend on implementing this new process and what are the benefits from each choice, outsourcing or in house?” The answers from these two questions will help guide the organization into the correct direction of implementing a new information system. “In the health sector, the incorporation of new medical technologies brings new challenges for IT managers to gather more and more information about patients.” (Correia, Chiodoni, Dalfovo, Silva, Teske, 2013) Goals should be set as to what is wanted and needed out of this new information system.

...Checkpoint: The System Development Life Cycle A system study needs to be performed on an accounting information system. There are four stages of the system development life cycle (SDLC) of a business information system. The cycles are; planning and investigation, analysis, design, and implementation, follow-up and maintenance. A broad view point needs to be used to perform a system study for planning and investigation. A mission, planning goals, and objectives needs to be placed. A team should be set up that will speak with the management continuously. This team can be outside the IT department for that broad view point. Also, management will need to appoint a steering committee to work with the study team. Problems may appear and the study team should do a crucial investigation of the system. Advising the steering committee of the findings will be done. After finding the source the committee will decide what is to be mended. Either, do nothing, do a further investigation, or execute a formal system analysis. The system analysis stage is organized to examine the system in detail. Goals need to be set, such as; general system goals, top management goals, and operating goals. General system objectives show benefits, decisions, access and flexibility to change. Top management goals provide managers with planning data to assist in creating important decisions for the future. Operating management goals provide specific managers with assistance in present decisions. System analysis also...

...Information System Briefing The process of selecting and acquiring an information system (IS) takes a great deal of time and a lot of planning. Each organization is different and must be able to suit their needs in order for them to be successful. An organization must decide if it wants to outsource their IS or to bring in information technology (IT) to work within the facility. But before an organization can even think about what system they want to implement they must be able to ask a couple of questions that will be able to narrow it down to what they need. First, the organization must ask “What expense are we willing to spend on implementing this new process and what are the benefits from each choice, outsourcing or in house?” (Hicks, N.D.). By answering these questions honestly, it will give the organization a better understanding of selecting an IS. Secondly, an organization must set up goals as to what it wants and needs in the new system. Within these goals should be listed the wants of the employees, the goals from the senior management level and all participating physicians, and of course the goals needed to achieve patient satisfaction. By having these goals established will give a better idea of what the organization needs to focus on to achieve maximum results. An organization’s strategic goals can influence what type of IS they will get. It heavily depends on what they need it for, what are they trying to accomplish, and to decide to either outsource or keep...
