Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

Introducing a Clinical Information System (CIS) in a healthcare organization is particularly complex, requiring thorough design and the close cooperation of many key-position people. Moreover, the whole process is extremely time-consuming. This contribution presents the first phases of such an introduction in a regional clinic. During these phases, several preparatory actions took place to establish and set up all the necessary infrastructure in the hospital. Then, the CIS was introduced in two pilot clinics, interconnected with the existing administrative system and customized to meet the needs of the various clinical departments. The researchers use a Software development life cycle (SDLC) waterfall method; by the SDLC waterfall method, the framework defines tasks performed at each step in the software development process. The project will be easily finished because the process is a waterfall, starting from planning to analyzing the problem and creating objectives, designing the system and developing, testing, implementing and maintaining the updates. The researchers use interviews, like recording audio or video and taking pictures, as a handwritten survey to know the clinic's problem in Bestlink College of the Philippines.
