Integrating Clinical Decision Support Systems.

Imagine that you are asked to evaluate the benefits of implementing a decision support system that is meant to identify a rare cardiac condition. This would be the first clinical decision support system implemented by the hospital and you want to begin by developing a sound strategy for how the system will integrate with the rest of the IT infrastructure:

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages associated with the relationship between the developer and the organization?
If you recommend the implementation, how will you frame the project to protect the hospital if the chief of cardiology chooses to work elsewhere in the future?
What general considerations related to intellectual property could complicate the use of these systems?
Your initial post must use at least one scholarly or health care industry-recognized resource and include an in-text citation and its related reference, both following APA formatting guidelines.
