ABC Health Clinic has been conducting system analysis for a new clinical provider order entry system (CPOE) for several months. They have made a firm commitment to the project, and now they have to make some significant decisions prior to selecting the new information system. For example, they need to determine which vendor will build the information system and whether the information system should be integrated or interfaced. The clinic has a practice management system and plans to implement an electronic health record after the CPOE is implemented. As a result, the clinic has a small information technology department. Most staff members are busy assisting with day-to-day issues that include data security, data backup, personal computer issues, and so on. One of the staff members has experience implementing information systems.

What issues would this practice have regarding implementing and maintaining a new information system? Explain.
