Discussion: NURS 6051 Week 9 The Inclusion of Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle
The Inclusion of Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle
In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.
In this Discussion you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.
