Before implementation
An interface communication system is complex to implement. Before beginning an implementation, outline the necessary steps.
Note: Every site is unique. Consult with System
Implementation team members when constructing a plan.
Task overview:
- Outline the system requirements.
- Appoint the system integration team.
- Assign team members to specific interface requirements. Assign by system, data, or vendor needs.
- Complete the interface request form for each vendor or system.
- Evaluate the interface and outside system requirements with your team.
- Develop the scope, work plan, and budget.
- Complete the specs form.
- Develop a test and migration plan.
- Construct the interface.
- Test the interface.
- Implement the interface.
Internal documentation is important throughout the interface cycle. Customize the documentation for each project, so that scope and expectations are always clearly defined.
