Considered Successful Strategies to Gain Clinical Adoption of a New Information System in the Health Care System

In the 21st century, every field of study and profession depends on technology, and that is the main reason why the healthcare system has to embrace technology. Notably, the first successful strategy of gaining the clinical adoption of information systems in the health care system is the introduction of computerized patient data. Evidently, most healthcare systems use manual recordings of the patient’s progress. Ball (2008) affirms that, if the health care system can adopt the computerized system it would better and ease their information for effective and easier references to the changes in the patient’s condition. Additionally, computerized scanning of the patient’s blood is more reliable in determining the patient’s infection.

Determination of the Strategy is Successful

After the adaptation of the strategies, it is vital to determine whether they are successful or not before progressing with them. This is easily determined by testing it for a given period in comparison to the old system used previously. According to McGonigle & Mastrian (2011), after trying the new system, the best thing is recording the results gained after using it for comparison with the older system. The success of using the new system can be affirmed if it performs better than the older one.

Determination of the Implementation of the Information System is Successful

The determination of the success of the implementation of the information system is the same as the determination if the strategy is successful. This implies that this is determined by practicing the new application in comparison to the older one.
