Parallel installation B. Phased installation C. Big bang installation D. Risky installation - ✔✔b. phase installation - Phased installation is when the implementation is done in stages, where one phase leads to another.Parallel installation defined: - ✔✔Parallel installation occurs when old and new system are implemented simultaneously, and the 2 systems run simultaneously (i.e. paper and electronic, "old" system and "new" system).

All steps are done in order for all areas. B. End users have final say on all aspects of the project. C. There is a formal change management process throughout to address new information as it comes to light. D.

Changes in many ways including culture, productivity, and clinical practice during an implementation D. Can be determined by individual departments and specialties - ✔✔C. Changes in many ways including culture, productivity, and clinical practice during an implementation Rationale: Workflow WILL change with the implementation of the system and is more than simply documenting policies and procedures. The workflow must be determined organization-wide and not be left to individual departments as systems and processes must be integrated. Which is NOT a type of maintenance? A. Corrective B. Preventative C. Flexible D. Emergent - ✔✔C. Flexible Rationale: According to the chart in the Module, three types of maintenance are corrective, preventative, and emergent.
