The importance of nurse leaders’ contributions to the success of a systems development project for a healthcare facility cannot be overstated. The nurse leader coordinates the graduate-level nurses’ use of the nurse documentation system. The team leader will also select the nurses who will be a part of the implementation team. The position descriptions for other nurses must be revised based on the SDLC phases and activities, even though a nurse leader has various responsibilities within the implementation team.
Definition of Arrangement and Needs
The planning and requirements definition phase of the SDLC is the initial step. This stage involves gathering essential data to determine the demand for the new system and create the best implementation strategy. The nurse’s job at the planning stage is to provide crucial information determining the project’s benefits and drawbacks. The role impacts the project’s performance because data is required from the beginning.
Analysis
An analysis is the second stage of the SDLC. The action occurs during a performance evaluation of the system using predetermined standards. It entails assessing the new system’s suitability for the needs of its users. The project’s nurses need a product documentation system to make their tasks more straightforward. Customers must provide essential information to appraise the project or successfully discover a solution to their needs.
The Design of the New System
The requirements, features, and processes for a new documentation system that will meet the demands of the end users must be developed at the third stage of the cycle design. The nurse must ensure the system is created to meet their specific needs.
