Your company provides healthcare services and competes on a national level having more than 100 hospitals in 20 states. A significant investment of almost $100 million has been made in information technology, however, the current system doesn't currently support a complete electronic medical record which will be a requirement within the next 5 years. You are in charge of implementing a new IT solution to support a full electronic patient medical record and your boss' directive to you is "we can't walk away from the significant investment we have made in our current technology", and worries how he would explain a change in systems to the Board of Directors. As you ponder his words, you prepare to meet with him the next morning to discuss. How will you respond to his comment? What information about the current and proposed system would be helpful to you in preparing for your meeting?
