You received a memo from your manager asking about the progress of the performance improvement plan. She indicates that selecting an e$-$prescribing or CPOE function for the current electronic health record will be part of the overall plan to improve patient care. After your review, you realize that you need to complete a SWOT analysis. By performing a SWOT analysis, you can help plan and manage change. Understanding the internal and external environment is also critical to an effective performance improvement plan. For the external environment, look at opportunities and threats. For the internal environment, look at strengths and weaknesses.

For this part of the project you will complete two SWOT analysis tables to describe key opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses in selecting an e$-$prescribing or CPOE function. You will create one table for an e$-$prescribing product$/$system and one table for a CPOE application$/$system$.$
