You will identify a health information system in your community (local, county, or state level). Contact the proper department of the host organization, and interview at least one person to study about the development and implementation of system. Write a review of the system based on what you have learned in this course. Be sure to comprise a description of the system, the name and title of the person with whom you spoke, and how their process was similar or dissimilar from what you have learned about when planning and implementing this type of project. You might go to the programmer you spoke to previously; however, if you do, this programmer must be in the field of public health or healthcare.
Question:
• Who decided an information system was essential?
• Was a team approach to design used? If so, who was on the team?
• How was the new system created? Did you purchase something off the shelf or have it developed in-house? Did you send out an RFP?
• How were stakeholders involved in procedure?
