Hello Dana Smey,Thank you for the detailed discussion on technology implementation in the organization. I agree with you that Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is an important process that describes phases or stages of implementing new software or technology (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018). Implementing new health information technology (HIT) requires critical planning. The SDLC helps in simplifying the implementation process and informing the stakeholders on the importance of adhering to specific procedures during the implementation process. According to the SDLC, the first step is planning and defining the requirements where organization needs to isolate the needs and determine how the needs will be met. The second stage of analysis involves critical evaluation of the need and identification of specific solution. The third step involves designing the new system while the forth step involves implementation. Last step is post-implementation support where required testing and technology appraisal is conducted to ensure they remain effective and up-to-date. Regards!ReferencesMcGonigle, D. & Mastrian, K.
