Introduction
Care Delivery Application is one of the information technology concepts used in the sector of
health. Recently, health information technology is an essential factor to be implemented for

the success of most health operations (Zadvinskis, Smith, & Yen, 2018). Information
technology in the healthcare sector involves electronic systems that are used by healthcare
personnel to share, store, and analyze health data. The system acts as the management of
health services between patients and practitioners and other related parties. Health
information technology has improved the effectiveness and quality of health services, thus
promoting individual and public health (Kruse, & Beane, 2018). Successful implementation
of information technology systems in health facilities has resulted in minimal expenditure
outcomes and medical error. Both clinical and administrative operations become more
efficient than before. The software systems, apart from improving the quality of healthcare,
also save time and money. Therefore, encouraging much of the time to be concentrated in
daily operation which boosts patient health treatment (Staggers, Elias, Makar, & Alexander,
2018). They are many varieties of health information technology, and one of them is the Care
Delivery Application.
Design consideration
The design of the health information technology system is a critical part to be considered
while developing any system of the organization (Marsch, Bulakci, Queseth, & Boldi, 2018).
The design includes the whole architecture of the system to be developed. The goals and
objectives of the health information technology system are achieved according to the design
of the mobile application (Lu et al., 2018). The capabilities and the level of function of the
information technology system are determined by design. Therefore, this is to indicate that
the design aspect is essential to the development of health information technology. The
design phase involves three critical parties that facilitate the effective design and
implementation of the system (Strudwick et al., 2018). These are the hardware phase,
software phase, and the human factor. All these are involved in having an attractive and
practical design of care delivery applications.

Hardware design
Hardware involves the physical aspects of the health care system. To have any existing
technology system, the first thing to develop is the hardware part, which is mostly the
tangible section of the system. It is essential to consider the specifications of the hardware
system, whether they will achieve health care information technology by executing all
assigned activities effectively. Due to the challenges facing the current health care system,
the hardware which is required should be more powerful and advanced (Manor, &
Greenberg, 2018).
Advanced telecommunication tools, web solutions, networking, and social equipment which
will support health care delivery. Communication electronics should be implemented at all
levels to facilitate the active role of patients forms passive through IT platforms. The
transition between patient and management will be implemented through monitoring devices.
Therefore, the monitoring devices will provide easy decision making and access to
information to maintain health care records while the patient is at home (Kitson, Prpa, &
Riecke, 2018).
Software design
Software design involves the development of the system application. Software design is
intangible; the meaning is a flow of information and processes that will be implemented over
the designed hardware. Hardware cannot execute its function effectively without suitable
designed software. The development of software will design in a manner it will be
compatible with the environment of operation. The development software requires evaluation
at the end. The assessment will help to reduce errors and improve the accuracy of delivering
the services.
