ABC Health Clinic has been conducting system analysis for a new clinical provider order entry system (CPOE) for several months now. They have made a firm commitment to the project and now they have some significant decisions to make before they can move to select the new information system. They need to determine who will build the information system and whether the information system should be integrated or interfaced.

The clinic has a practice management system and plans to implement an electronic health record after the CPOE is implemented. Because of this, they have a small information technology staff. Most of these staff members stay busy helping with the day-to-day issues such as security, backups, personal computer problems, and so forth, but one of the staff members has experience with implementing information systems.

  • Identify issues that this practice may have based on the information provided.
