RE: Discussion – Week 9
Technology is ever-changing. Maintaining the most appropriate software ensures that the workflow is smooth and catalyzes quality care. The system development life cycle (SDLC) is a platform that new integrations follow. One specific SDLC model is the Waterfall method which includes feasibility, analysis, design, implement, test, and maintain as the steps of the life cycle (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017, p. 178). This particular model respectfully represents all stages of creativity and installment. Ensuring nurses are part of each stage of the model will promote realistic patient advocacy. The administration does not always have the most practical conceptual evaluation of feasibility.
The development of software is crucial to patient care. The selection of an SDLC model is critical to software development (Agarwa, Singhal, & Garg, 2017). The software development is orchestrated in the process defined by the SDLC model (Agarwa, Singhal, & Garg, 2017). The waterfall method is the most novice as one step flows into the next. The first stage of development, which is feasibility, should include consults with nursing leaders to ensure practicality. Factors such as caseload, time management, and ease of use should be considered when developing software. Continuing to implement and testing is where nursing representation holds a substantial presence. Nurses who work and understand both the software and workflow are invaluable to new software introduction. Closing the gap and transitioning the staff into utilization is a significant step. The steps of analysis, test, and maintain additionally would require nursing presence. Who would know better about how the new software or implementation works than those who utilize it each day? The imperative aspect of SDLC is maintaining usability. New technology is evolving, and studies are being conducted on handheld devices to enhance bedside care (Ehrler, Lovis, & Blondon, 2019). Nurses spend more time at computers as technology advances, and it is essential to make the devices more mobile and user-friendly (Ehrler, Lovis, & Blondon, 2019).
A more prominent health provider bought the hospital I work at in 2013. The healthcare ministry incorporated all aspects of the facility with the purchase and updated the software rapidly. The employees at the facility were instructed that the change would take place one month in advance of the finalization of the facility purchase. Maintaining the older system was not efficient. The current ministry software was utilized and communicated from state to state. I believe not having input in the change was beneficial for the facility. The new software required all new computers, new monitors, new computer lines, new wifi upgrades, new mobile computers, new printers, and badge entry doors. The system was being utilized in several states, so the testing phase of SDLC was already completed. The implementation did bring forth the retirement of one doctor. The ministry now incorporated many hospitals in this region. The ability to share data throughout the EPIC system allows continuity of care.
