1. Stages of SDLC
Solution: There are 7 stages given below (de Vasconcelos et al., 2017).
Planning- The scope of the problem and its solutions is determined.
System analysis and requirements- The functional requirements of the proposed project and its
solutions is analyzed to meet the organization expectation.
System design- The specifications, features and necessary operations are described.
Development- The development of the proposed project begins in this stage.
Integration and Testing- The testing is done to ensure that the system meets the business goals.
Implementation- The production is done by moving data from old system to new system.
Operations and Maintenance- The additional requirements or capabilities are added to boost
the performance.
2. Stage of any information system (or EHR)
Solution: The stage of any information system in current scenario can be described by
analyzing the process of project from planning phase to operations and maintenance phase. The
project is described according to its process steps in which it works differently at each phase of
SDLC.
3. Information systems for each SDLC categories
