Problem: The Office of the National Coordinator's (ONC's) current goals are to promote interoperability and optimize EHRs with digital devices. These goals will be realized through application of the Systems Development Life Cycle model (SDLC).
Discuss either one of these questions:
Do you believe the industry followed best practices in the use of SDLC as rapid adoption of EHRs occurred across the nation? If not, why not?
or
Do you believe that hospitals and clinics can utilize SDLC best practices to move forward with the Promoting Interoperability Program to optimize EHRs that have been adopted? If so, how? If not, why do you believe hospitals and clinics may fail to do so?
