Report: Implementation of a New Computer System within Organization

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of implementing a new computer system within an organization. It explores the importance of configurability, interoperability, and usability, emphasizing their impact on operational efficiency and project completion. The report recommends the implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR) due to their potential to reduce errors, improve patient safety, and support critical decision-making. It also outlines key factors for effective team selection, including communication skills and organizational abilities, and discusses the principle of leading with culture to address resistance to change. Furthermore, the report covers practical aspects such as handling team members, addressing potential pitfalls during implementation, and personal experiences with automation and information systems, highlighting their benefits in terms of process speed, accuracy, and business flexibility. The analysis is supported by relevant references, providing a well-rounded perspective on the topic.

Implementation of
a New Computer
System within an
Organization
Name of the Student
Name of the University

Configurability,
Interoperability and Usability
 Provides a basic ability for connecting and
communicating with other computerized
systems
 Usability helps towards completion of a project
in an accurate manner (Olla, 2006)
 Configurability within computer systems is
important as it supports operation and
development

Importance of the Concepts
 Ensuring of good usability requires setting up
of corresponding processes (Paz et al., 2015)
 Configurability of user system would ensure
fixed costs
 Interoperability within QA processes and
design would impact the working over a
designated system

Recommendation for EHR
The primary reasons for recommendation of EHR
implementation are:
 Reduction of errors, improvement of patient safety
 Supporting decision making for doctors in critical
medical states (Slight et al., 2015)
 Better patient outcomes and improved diagnostics

Factor considered during Team Selection
The important factors to be considered during
team selection are:
 Should have excellent communication skills
 Sound knowledge of PM principles
 Great organizing skills (Salas et al., 2015)
 Accurate skills of estimation
 Should be self-assured during making
decisions

Meaning of a Principle
The Principle – “Lead with culture, determining
where the resistance is”
 Leaders define culture based on the outcomes aimed
for achieving
 Supporting efforts for defining and communication of
values, which are important (Collinson & Tourish,
2015)
 Determining the path of resistance without an
integrated framework

Implementation of a Principle
The implementation of the previous discussed
principle can be discussed as:
 Defining the need and embedded challenges
 Defining a framework for thoughts on culture
 Development of effective form of top leadership
teams
 Translation of insights into actions

Handling Key Team Members
The ways of handling physician's resistance to
changes are:
 Ensuring the proper and effective functioning
of EHR system
 Offering options based on enhancing success
 Simplification of internal processes
 Enhancing better communication levels
 Fostering a team approach

Pitfalls during Implementation and Ways of Avoiding
The certain pitfalls during implementation
process and ways of avoiding are:
 Building without a proper blueprint (Tsai et al.,
2016)
 Insufficient testing approaches
 Low strategies and marketing of the intended
product (O’Modhrain et al., 2015)

Personal Experience with Automation and IS
Based on my experience with automation and IS, I can
discuss that:
 Automation mainly helps for speedy process delivery of
various processes (Kumar & Mishra, 2016)
 Leads in accurate results during prediction
 Ensures flexibility in business processes (Chui, Manyika
& Miremadi, 2015)
 Supports interoperability and integration
