significant vehicle for facilitating interoperability between different
concepts, nomenclatures, and information systems
What is the systems development life cycle (SDLC)?
..........ANSWER.......*Standardized approach*Process for developing
information systems in a: -deliberate -structured -methodical manner
What are the four phases of the SDLC? ..........ANSWER.......1. Planning2.
Analysis3. Design, Develop, Customize4. Implementation, Evaluate,
Maintain, Support
What is a project life cycle? ..........ANSWER.......1. Initiating2. Planning3.
Execution4. ClosingMay be used in conjunction with the SDLC
What is the Planning phase of the SDLC? ..........ANSWER.......It is a
foundational, fundamental and often longest phase (sets the stage for
the project)*system requirements*feasibility study*project
charter*project plan
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are the system request
components? ..........ANSWER.......1. Project sponsor2. Business need3.
Business requirements4. Business value5. Special
issues/considerations
,In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are the feasibility analysis types?
..........ANSWER.......1. Technical, "can we build it?"2. Economic, "should
we build it?"3. Operational, "if we build it, will they use it?"
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are the elements of the project
charter? ..........ANSWER.......1. Project champion2. Dates (start,
milestones, end)3. Problems or opportunity statements
(purpose/justification)4. Objectives (what we want to achieve)5. Key
stakeholders6. Scope of the project7. Target benefit8. Budget
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what is a project charter?
..........ANSWER.......1. Draws from system requests2. Created by project
sponsor or initiator (often delegated to the project manager or
informatics nurse)3. Formally authorizes the existence of a project4.
Authorizes project manager to apply organizational resources
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are the goals assessment?
..........ANSWER.......1. Return on investment (ROI)-ratio of expected
financial gains divided by the total costs2. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA).
Attempt to quantify tangible and intangible items3. Tangible-improve
revenue, decrease staff needed4. Intangible-increase in patient
satisfaction
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are the tools used?
..........ANSWER.......System Selection & Implementation: -customer site
visit -surveys -RFI/RFP -Gap analysisSystem/Product Development -
Stakeholders analysis -Market survey -Feasibility analysis -Assessment
of competitors

product concepts scope document feasibility assessments other
artifacts of planning -Respond to RFI/RFP
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what is an RFI? ..........ANSWER.......*Is
it a request for information*A document that the organization sends
to vendors*Indicates interest in gaining knowledge about the vendor's
product*Lists (high level) the key features desired for the new

high-level requirements
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what is an RFP?
..........ANSWER.......*Request for proposal*Created by the project
team*Sent to selected vendors requesting greater and more detailed
information about the features/functions desired for the new
system*Response from vendor from an RFP are equally
detailed*Supports comparison of vendors
In the Planning phase of the SDLC, what are outputs?
..........ANSWER.......System Selection & Implementation -system
request -feasibility assessment -charter -team formation proj
governance structure/implement committee proj team(s) (actually
implements the system) -gap analysis -timeline -workplan & resource
