Implementation
Maintenance and support
What describes the maintenance phase of the system development life cycle?
The system is upgraded.
During which phase of the system life cycle is the scope of the proposed project
identified?
Planning
What is the next step in the system life cycle after a new health information system has
been purchased?
Test the system
In which ways can the use of clinical decision support systems affect health information
technology and create a culture of safety within healthcare?
Improves quality of care
It improves patient satisfaction
What is a major reason to install a clinical decision support system within healthcare
information technology?
It reduces errors
How does a clinical decision support system that uses ANSI and WEDI support a
culture of safety?
By standardizing healthcare information
A large healthcare corporation is preparing to implement a new patient portal for
healthcare records. Multiple literature searches have been done, trade shows have
been attended, and a final list of potential vendors has been developed. What is the
next step in the project life cycle?
A letter is sent to potential vendors, asking for specific information about the product.
Why do healthcare facilities favor purchased information systems over organization-
developed information systems?
System enhancements are provided
Which system development life cycle uses the most predictive approach?
Waterfall model
Which step in the project implementation of the electronic health record relies heavily
upon the ability of super users?
Manage go-live activities and post-go-live support
Which stage of the planning phase provides the high-level direction needed to reach
organizational goals?
Strategic planning
What initiates the life cycle of an information system?
Identification of a vision or need
, Place the implementation steps of the electronic health record life cycle in order from
first (1) to last (4).
1. Identify the problem or need and obtain approval to proceed with the project.
2. discover and understand the details of the problem or need
3. Build, test, and integrate system components.
4. Complete system tests and then deploy the solution.
As a crucial part of the whole information technology (IT) infrastructure (hardware,
software, networks, operations,etc.) of the organization, this step in the project
implementation must e aligned with the organization's mission and support the overall
business goals.
Strategic planning
What is the correct order of the phases of an adaptive system development life cycle
with six core processes and multiple iterations?
1. Identify the problem and obtain approval
2. Plan and monitor project
3. Discover and understand details
4. Design system components
5. Build, test, and integrate system components
6. Complete system tests and deploy the solution.
Which system development life cycle approach does the waterfall model describe?
A sequential approach
During which phase of the system development lifecycle (SDLC) are new components
and programs obtained and installed?
Develop or purchase
As the implementation phase of the system development life cycle (SDLC) is occurring,
a member of the project management teams wants to confirm that all bar code printers
have been updated to work with the new system. What testing should be used?
Hardware testing
The nursing team has been charged with selecting a new information system for
managing patient census data. Which system should be chosen?
Open system
An institution is using the systems development life cycle (SDLC) adaptive approach for
developing its new information system. The institution will need to be flexible throughout
development. Which SDLC approach should be used?
Agile development
A physician's office wants to adopt an electronic medical record. The providers and staff
are unsure which system will best suit the needs of the office. Which system
development life cycle approach suits this practice?
Adaptive
A complex healthcare system is implementing a new electronic health record system in
multiple sites. The sites include both inpatient and outpatient clinics. Which systems
development life cycle model is appropriate for this institution?
Layered
Which interdisciplinary team role will a chief information officer undertake when
implementing a health information system?
Chair of the information steering committee
