¶ … Suppliers
Technology has reduced the challenges faced by healthcare providers in their efforts to provide patient care in a given period. The patient record system stores relevant patient information in relation to medical status, next appointments, and many others. This means that information is available to the patient and the provider, at their convenience. This has helped in that patients can seek medication elsewhere because the system is accessible by multiple providers in different locations, for a single record. Nevertheless, the information is adequate and accurate, and the system allows different views because it has knowledge-based tools (Bignaut, McDonald and Tolmie 2001).
Requirements
In healthcare setting, it is important to determine the software requirements for technological system. Therefore, many organizations will follow a prototyping approach to verify whether the acquired system will provide the functions postulated. The concept behind the approach was to establish an initial implementation, expose it to stakeholders, and refine it to develop an adequate system. Engaging the end-users was an important approach to establish the format and contents of the system in real practice. In addition, a mock implementation of the system is important to establish the services provided in connection with the healthcare facility.
Most importantly, this approach would assist in establishing shortcomings. The users would provide frank feedback in relation...
The opportunity to use the system would provide other opportunities for advancement in cases where the users discovered other needs. Most importantly, the system should make provision for the services offered at the facility. It should be modular, flexible, meaning it should provide possibilities to execute relevant modules at a specific venue.
Moreover, the prototyping approach should determine whether the system had the capacity to identify patients exceptionally. This was either by using the names, or a patient's identity number. In addition, the approach would help establish whether the system generated reports, which stakeholders identified as easy to use. On screen, capturing of statistics should be prompt, easy and not avert the user's attention primary task (Bignaut, McDonald and Tolmie 2001). The end users would see how the arrangement of statistics follows, and determine the overall organization.
Selecting Suppliers
Organizations select and evaluate suppliers using their own criteria because research suggests that there is no single approach deemed effective. Therefore, organizations develop their own supplier surveys and decide the variables to use in the selection process. However, the main criteria employed by many organizations include price, quality, and delivery. For this study, I will employ quality and price because they are the most important variables. Quality is the ability of a given product to meet or exceed the…
