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.
  • 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.

To begin, Gus had first purchased a pistol and a small box of ammo with plans to kill his life partner Daisy. Gus also decided to take out a large life insurance policy stating that he himself would be the sole beneficiary. At some point Gus ends up embarrassed about his activities and shrouds the stacked weapon in the additional room with the security off. Daisy is home alone inspecting for her winter travel pack when she pounds the weapon off the rack and is genuinely stung. Daisy can call for help and recollecting that being sent to the repairing center she is executed by a flushed driver. Precisely when Gus is taught that his life partner was executed, he goes to a zone bar to celebrate. Should Gus be seen as accountable for his significant other Daisy’s passing is the present issue? 

In like manner, as indicated by Schmalleger at Criminal Law Today (2006 pg. 90 and 112) an awful conduct may have been submitted when Gus as of late suspected of executing his adored one Daisy. Causation recommends the way where that the simultaneousness of an at fault character and a criminal display must make or cause hurt. A man is at fault of an endeavor to do an awful conduct if, with hope to execute an awful conduct, the individual shares in direct which develops a liberal improvement toward the commission of that awful conduct. Irrelevant readiness to finish an awful conduct is commonly missing to incorporate the terrible conduct of criminal endeavor. The Model Penal Code gives that prompt isn’t an endeavor beside in case it joins a huge improvement toward the commission of the offense and is unequivocally checking of the performer’s criminal explanation. Likewise, the closeness approach was the customary test utilized at perspective-based law. The closeness approach acts remotely making a beeline for the commission of the offense are not considered as endeavors to execute the awful conduct however rather acts quickly associated with it are. As appeared by Schmalleger at Criminal Law today (2006 pg.113) the vicinity test depended upon the last display test. The last show test started from the as often as possible implied English instance of Regina versus Eagleton. The last demonstrating test conveys that in the terrible conduct of undertaking, a test asks whether the charged had made the last walk or act toward commission of the offense and had played out everything that he proposed to do and could do endeavoring to do the awful conduct. In any case, out of the blue the terrible conduct was not wrapped up. 

Next, for an endeavor to be charged, a show or the like is critical. There are several shields Gus can endeavor to use to stay away from conviction. A gatekeeper incorporates check and debates offered by a respondent and their legitimate advocates to show why that individual ought to be not in threat for a criminal claim. Shields rely upon four bases: which are vindications, frustration of the arraignment to display numerous the parts major for conviction, redirections, and reasons. As indicated by Schmalleger at Criminal Law today (2006 pg.164), the security of give up proclaims that the respondent intentionally repudiated proceeded with endeavors to finish the terrible conduct. Indiana law understands it is a resistance that the individual who occupied with the denied lead deliberately gave up his push to finish the key terrible conduct and purposefully kept its reward. Reunification is utilized in two or three locales rather than give up. Reunification is an assurance from a charge of attempted crime. 

At last, Gus ought to be accused of the passing of his adored one Daisy. While talking about an incredible mischief, for example, passing it is basic to see the refinement between causation no ifs, ands or buts and proximate explanation. On the off chance that there is any sort of connection between the respondents direct and the subsequent damage, by then causation exists. Precisely when Gus obtained the firearm and shots with hope to butcher his adored one and left the stacked weapon in the storeroom with the success off, immediately Gus changed into the clarification behind his better half’s ruin. Schmalleger (2006 pg91) sees that veritable disaster can be settled through the sine qua non test, which holds in this manner that “without this, that would not be”. Thusly, if Gus had not picked up the firearm and slugs, by then his cherished one would have never been shot and executed by a boozer driver while being dispatched to the pro’s office by the police. To the degree the probability of proximate explanation, it is a steadier true idea than apparent explanation. Proximate explanation holds people criminally in threat for causing hurt when it can dependably be shown that the deviousness caused was sensibly obvious from their lead. With that being conveyed, Gus’ activities and Daisy’s passing by a minor impact was not obvious.
