1. Since most developers are not clinicians and most clinicians are not developers, what measures are necessary to ensure the development of an effective information system?
SAMPLE ANSWER FOR QUESTION 1 (PLEASE DO NOT COPY)
Information technology (IT) is an aid to management processes. In an healthcare organization, it must be designed to support management goals. As Tallon (2008) pointed out, strategic alignment is key to business success in the deployment of IT resources. Collaboration between clinicians (skilled in the healthcare processes) and developers (IT professionals) is vital to achieve this. Glandon, Slovensky and Smaltz (2012, p 3) corroborated this, explaining that IT must be part of a broader organizational plan. Effective teamwork comprising healthcare managers, clinicians and developers (technical specialists) will be needed starting from the planning stage through implementation and for the complete lifecycle of the product. Each division of the team has specific knowledge peculiar to its function needed for the successful implementation of the project. Healthcare managers and clinicians contribute ideas related to system requirement and organizational business process while, developers apply their skills in analysis and design, (Glandon, et al., 2012). Cost control must take into cognizance cost of providing support services.

SAMPLE ANSWER FOR QUESTION 2 (PLEASE DO NOT COPY)
Below is the order from most important to least important in healthcare organization (in my opinion):
1. Clinical
2. Electronic networking
3. Strategic decision support
4. Management
The reason behind my order is based on my experience at working in a hospital. I know whenever the system is in “downtime” that causes a bit of panic, anything that is pertaining to patient or their records effects the flow of the hospital so it is very essential that this system is working. Once the patients are taken care of the next factor that is important is how we get paid that is why electronic networking comes in second, insurance billing and claims processing is critical for the hospital to get paid with that not working we are basically giving a very expensive services for “free”. Third, strategic decision support which assist the senior management team which effects the fourth factor which is the operational management systems.
