Healthcare software solutions undergo several developmental phases: planning, requirements analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance. These phases are used for complex projects, while simpler projects include fewer phases, such as planning, design, implementation, and support after implementation.
When the development process is divided into phases, progress is easy to track and ensure that all client needs are met effectively. In the case of healthcare systems, progress is tracked to ensure that the process meets patient and healthcare professional needs.
