Review the following scenario:
You are the leader of a project to transition to a new laboratory management software system and to complete integration with the current electronic health record. Meetings and planning involved administration, nursing, and information technology. The administration pressured the team to finish the project quickly. Consequently, there was minimized collaboration between departments to meet deadlines, conduct testing, and deliver training.
After the system was implemented, the lab manager contacted the chief nursing informatics officer to say the orders are not matching between the systems. The staff is avoiding using the new system, reverting to paper. Some of the hardware is not compatible with the new system.
