Interview a health care executive regarding the process last used by
his or her organization to acquire a new information system.
How did
that process compare with the system acquisition process described
in this chapter?
Assume you are part of a project steering committee in a rural
nonprofit t hospital.
The hospital is interested in replacing its legacy
EHR system. You offer to screen the marketplace to see what types of
EHRs are available. Prepare a fifteen-minute summary report of your
findings to the committee at large.
3. Conduct a literature review (including an Internet search) on various
cloud-based computing services available in health care.
What
criteria might you use to compare them?
How do they differ in terms
of service, support, and financing arrangements?
