Your task is to apply the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to this scenario and develop a 2–3 page role description for a graduate-level nurse leader serving on the implementation team. The focus is on ensuring the system is usable, acceptable, and supportive of nursing workflow, while clearly demonstrating how nurse leadership adds value throughout the process.

As you prepare your paper, be sure to:

  • Briefly reflect on the scenario and explain why a nurse leader must be part of the implementation team.
  • Discuss both benefits and challenges of involving a nurse leader in health information technology implementation.
  • Structure the role description around the SDLC stages, clearly outlining how the nurse leader contributes to and impacts each phase:
    • Planning and requirements definition
    • Analysis
    • Design of the new system
    • Implementation
    • Post-implementation support
  • Write from a graduate-level leadership perspective, emphasizing communication, advocacy, workflow alignment, usability, and change management.
  • Include 3 or more peer-reviewed articles and 2 or more course resources.

Use clear headings tied to the SDLC phases, integrate evidence where appropriate, and ensure your role description goes beyond listing tasks by explaining how the nurse leader influences successful adoption. This assignment is designed to connect informatics theory to real-world nursing leadership practice. Use the scenario to make those connections explicit. 

The Assignment: (2-3 pages not including the title and reference page)

  • Planning and requirements definition
  • Analysis
  • Design of the new system
  • Implementation
  • Post-implementation support
  • Use APA format and include a title page and reference page.
  • Use the Turnitin Drafts to check your match percentage before submitting your work.
