Assignment 2: System Analysis

In this course, you will progressively work on a system implementation process in six stages:

· Week 1: System planning

· Week 2: System analysis

· Week 3: System selection

· Week 4: System implementation

· Week 5: User training and system maintenance

You can use Internet resources, peer-reviewed journals, and reputable, published articles, and you may interview an executive of a healthcare facility that has implemented an electronic medical record system/electronic health record system or similar system to describe the six implementation steps.

This week, you will conduct system analysis. System analysis is a process of collecting, organizing, and evaluating data about the information systems and the environment in which the system operates. For this section, you need to answer the following questions:

· What is the current system for your fictional healthcare organization?

· What problems do you have with the current system? Where do its weaknesses lie?

· What changes will the implementation of a new system yield, and how will they impact the working of the organization?

· Would you like to extend the existing system or replace it?

· What is your phase-out plan for the existing system?
