Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a great tool to use when making decisions and
changes within a company. This cycle includes Analysis, Design, Implementation, Test, and
Maintenance. Each of these steps has an important part to play in successful
implementation but, it is equally important to have the right team working on each of these
phases. Nurses should be a primary part of the team since they use these systems and
directly work with patients more than other healthcare providers.Analysis: Requirements
for the system are teased out from a detailed study of the business needs of the
organization(Mcgonigle & Mastrian, 2015). During this phase workflow and business
practices are examined. Having anursepart of this phase is vital because the true issues can
be identified as nurse is hands-on seeing and working. This gives a nurse a unique
perspective. A key to the successful implementation ofhealth information technology
(health IT)is to recognize its impact on both clinical and administrativeworkflow (Workflow
Assessment for Health IT Toolkit, n.d.). Not allowing a nurse to be part of this phase can lead
to the wrong issues being addressed or missing ones that need to be addressed.ORDER
NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSDesign: During the design phase it is being
evaluated what programs are needed and how those programs will be implemented. Nurses
are vital during this phase because this will be a time that the decision to purchase
programs may be made having the input from the people who will use such programs is
important. If you do not have a nurse involved in this phase it could result in a program
being purchased that will not work as efficiently compared to if there were expert opinions
given prior.Implementation: During this phase,the program is being brought to
life(Mcgonigle & Mastrian, 2018). having a nurse part of this phase may help phase out
kinks that may come into play when rolled out. They may have the ability to catch potential
problems and have them corrected prior to roll out. Not having a nurse involved in this
phase may result in a program being rolled out with kinks causing frustration from staff and
may cause failure in the rollout.Test: The testing phase beta testing is done to determine if
the programs ready for the full roll out to all areas. Having the nurse assist with thisphase
will be vital as a superuser trained to use these programs and also familiar with working the
area of the rollout will allow them to assist their peers and receive honest feedback. Not
having a nurse involved here may cause peers to have further resistance to a new program
that is unfamiliar to them but having a peer assist them may gain their confidence in this
new rollout.Maintenance: Once the new program has been tested the maintenance phase is
2. important to keep the program running well and make changes as needed to make sure the
program is serving its purpose. Nurse involvement in this phase will help to make sure that
feedback of the program is being given and in a timely manner. They will also be able to give
suggestions on what would help the program to be more efficient as they are using the
program on a daily bases. Not allowing them to be part of this phase may cause a delay in
hearing that there is a problem or feedback on what improvements would help the program
be successful. Colina Hill Discussion – Week 9 Initial PostReferencesMcgonigle, D., &

Discussion – Week 9The system development life cycle (SDLC), is defined stages that a life
of a system information system development from feasibility to its demise (Mcgonigle &
Mastrian, 2018). With technology in our hands, organizations are looking for cost-cutting
and getting acquainted with the technology.Nurses and organizations want to find a way to
address the heterogeneity of nursing workflow processes such as the development of new
apps or new applications that make the chart easier and less time consuming (Ehrler et al.,
2019).There is a model that explains the development of the system development life cycle
that all need to have to be successful and applicable to the organization. The seven steps for
SDLC are; planning, analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and
maintenance.SDLC is implemented in technology systems for organizations (Mcgonigle &
Mastrian, 2018).Nurses need to be part of the application of an organization for the system
to work. Nurses are the ones who will be using the software, and it requires the input from
them to see if it is user friendly or it is going to be more cumbersome than it was intended
for. Colina Hill Discussion – Week 9 Initial PostNurses have participated in systems SDLC
such as SNOMED CT is a data repository that is collected in clinical practice had nurses’
input in the development through interviews, questionnaires, emails and it is still in its
early stage of implementation (Lee et al., 2013). All methods of analysis have been gathered
to design better the data that is converging into the systems. Another system that nurses
have to do all the time is DSS, which is scheduling that we all have to often do and try to
accommodate everyone, along with staying within the budget of not providing overtime and
achieved nursing satisfaction. These are some systems that have been perfected by nurses
and have done exceptionally well to accommodate what nurses. Implemented different
areas that we can all improve because we know exactly, we need improvement in and how
to make them better.ReferencesEhrler, F., Lovis, C., & Blondon, K. (2019). A mobile phone
