Discussion: 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. To Prepare: · Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources. · Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. · Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology. By Day 3 of Week 9 Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples. Rubric Answers all parts of the discussion question(s) expectations with reflective critical analysis and synthesis of knowledge gained from the course readings for the module and current credible sources. Supported by at least three current, credible sources. Written clearly and concisely with no grammatical or spelling errors and fully adheres to current APA manual writing rules and style
Share what you have learned about the term “academic integrity” and how it relates to students preparing class assignments. Share your knowledge, experience, and/or research related to writing a master’s-level paper that (a) does or (b) does not violate the academic integrity policy. For example, share with your peers any experiences you have had with similarity scores and paraphrasing in your ETH501 Case 1, ETH501 SLP 1, or in an undergraduate assignment from your prior degree program. Explain which ethical philosophy (or philosophies) relate to academic integrity. Do you think the university practice of using software to detect plagiarism issues is ethical? Why or why not? Is finding a similarity score for each assignment a good learning experience for students (i.e., does it teach students to be better writers)? Why or why not? If not, how can it be improved upon?
After reading about George Ritzer’s concept of the McDonaldization of society, think of another example (organization) besides the fast food industry where you believe this concept may be applied. Several good examples may be Amazon.com, Walmart, or General Motors. First, in your own words, explain McDonaldization, including a discussion of the dimensions Ritzer outlines (efficiency, predictability, calculability/quantity, nonhuman technology, control). Please use your organization as an example. Describe how each of dimensions of McDonaldization applies to your organization. Also discuss what might be the advantages and disadvantages of each dimension for the organization Provide some comments on the significance of McDonaldization for your example. Do you believe McDonaldization makes the organization you observed operate better or not? Why or why not? Define and describe the concept of the “irrationality of rationality” and describe whether or not this concept is seen in your selected organization. Why or why not? Provide some concluding comments on the significance of McDonaldization in society. How might McDonaldization lead to Marx’s concept of alienation? Describe how the McDonaldization of society may lead to Weber’s concept of the “Iron Cage.” Do you see McDonaldization as a positive in our current society? Why or why not? Is McDonaldization in any way beneficial for your own social experiences?
