1SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE USE IN HEALTH CARE
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has undergone a numerous changes over
years. This paper has discussed the use of SDLC in the environment of health care. A best
example provided based on the health IT. For any software organization, SDLC is helpful to
make a software project. The organization can plan, develop, and maintain the specific software.
Today, this methodology has found so useful that the software product in the real world
environment follow the stages of SDLC. For any software organization, SDLC is helpful to make
a software project. The organization can plan, develop, and maintain the specific software.
Today is the time were the team in software industry will design, develop and will test the
software. With the use of SDLC the completion of the project has estimated cost and within time.
This software define every task require to develop and maintain a software.
Installation in hospital follows the SDLC process in a home care unit. In the home care,
the patient’s care has taken at patients home. This hospital process acquires and implements the
software and performs a better health care service. The process of SDLC has involved some
implementation phase and overlapping the testing. For example, the patients take their self blood
pressure by a hook up device. The result is then transmitted to the hospital electronically to
process, inspect and monitor immediately by the staff attendant. Later, clinicians visit the home
of the patient and monitor the process and routine inspection will be performed and maintain on
the technology.
Whitten, Bentley and Barlow viewed various forms of life cycle in 1994. They came up
with the phase of a software development life cycle to complete one’s project. Below are the
phases of SDLC that the healthcare organization to follow:
