Information Briefing System Information Systems is a combination of individuals decision making activities used in combination with the new technology information. The information system will give a complete summary of what is involved in the information system, who is involved, and the type of software or hardware that is compatible with certain computers. Information systems are designed to help the organization meet the quality and standards that are set for the organization to succeed. With technology changing new software, hardware, and new ways of storing and protecting data which makes it difficult to keep up with. The content of this paper will allow you to identify the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection of the information system, and identify the roles that each of the organizations stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process. The process for selecting and acquiring an information system has to start with figuring out where the organization needs to start. The first step would be to assign a work team to develop a process and research the types of information systems that the organization is considering (McGrady, Conger, Blanke, Landry, 2010). The second step is to look at the plan and how it is laid out, and the amount of work. While researching the information system it is imperative that all individuals involved fully understand the system before they present it to the stakeholders of the organization. The third step will be used in the process for selecting an information system, selecting an implementation solution, and detecting the need for change in the information system and choose a supplier. All three of these phases are crucial when trying to have the right information system. Effective information systems project selection is crucial to the success of an organization. Selecting the goals drive depends on what the organization needs are and what they are trying to meet for the future. The goal of the information system of the information system is help the organization process and store data while keeping individual’s information safe and secure. All organizations goals are placed to better serve their patients and provide the best quality of care. The organization has to analyze what system will be best for them and meet the needs of individuals. Researching the organization missions and goals will be able to decide the information system for the organization. The implementation team and staff are the ones who set the goals of the organization and should know what information system should be implemented. In order for the goals to be net a team has to be selected that will determine the goal of the organization and what is expected (Freestone, 2010). The understanding of the computer system will enable the daily operation of the business to thrive while increasing sales. The roles that each of the organizations stakeholders play in the selection and acquisition process is important. Stakeholder is a person, group, organization, or system who affects or can be affected by organization actions. The stakeholders in the health care setting are the providers, payers, and the employers. The provider tends to view quality in a technical sense and the accuracy of diagnosis and appropriateness of therapy that result in the outcome of health. The payers focus on the cost effectiveness of an organization. The employers want to keep the cost down, and get their employees back to work quickly. The stakeholders will have to consist of a team with seven members five of the team members should have at least four years experience in the information system field. The other two members should be the leaders of the operation and make the rest of the team and look over the rest of the team to make sure they are performing their job correctly. Once the team is in place the team will then need a workstation for at least 200 employees. Each team members should know and be able to setup the system and make sure the workstation is connected and functioning properly. The employees work should be checked on a daily basis to determine if the system per worker will need the proper components in order to work. It will be best to acquire a system form another company because majority of the companies will offer a discount when you choose their organization. In conclusion information systems are important to an organization. Information systems make an organization run efficiently and give better to service to their customers. The goals of an organization help build the fit information system for the organization and be able to better serve patients. As technology grows information systems will have to stay update and kept well maintained for it to perform the most efficient services. Stakeholders play a major role in the information system process. Stakeholders are they to make sure the organization is growing for success and to keep the company running smoothly. Stakeholders will make sure that everybody is performing their job well and keep patients information confidential.
