It also incorporates features from these five other sciences: communication science, computer science, social science, library science, and cognitive science. ● Information Systems: Computer systems that use hardware and software to process data into information in order to solve a problem. ○ Using the EHR to document care of a patient with a femur fx is an example of using the EHR in which way? — Information System ○ Information systems are used to collect, create, and distribute useful data. ○ The development, use, and management of an organization's I.T. infrastructure. ○ An umbrella term for sub-categories such as: clinical information systems, core business systems, case management system, and communication systems. ● Life cycle of Information Systems (Know what happens in each phase) ○ Needs Assessment Phase: ■ *determine needs and wants in an information system*, gap analysis ■ Investigating current deficits and needs of the organization IS NOT a role in they system implementation phase.

Sends the outline to the vendor and asks if they can meet this need. ■ 3)Request for Quote document: (RFQ) Pricing, finances, and contract terms. ■ It’s not important that selection committee board members understand software and electronic processes. *They aren’t the end users who need to be trained* in the system. They just have to have a general understanding of it. ○ System Implementation Phase: ■ Go live planning→ Train staff (including end users)→ Analyst starts building screens and templates according to organization and its policies→ Apply any changes specific to that organization→ Go live. ■ [Show More]
