Since our organization is not a large one the team will need to consider which system would be most suitable for the size of our organization and which system is most compatible for the kind of information needed to be stored and a system that best suits our organizations overall needs. Since we are not a large hospital which is most suited for an enterprise system, we would be best suited for a secure cloud based subscription service (SaaS).With this system , it can be up and running in weeks. With a Hospitals enterprise systems it takes months sometimes years, to have the system operatible. This SaaS system is quite suitable because it’s in standards with the industry protocols in conjunction with our hospitals current IT infrastructure.

Another good thing about a SaaS it cost 50 to 66%...
