Reflect on these possible barriers and opportunities: 

The new system must be fully implemented in 2 years. 

The hospital has a very small IT department and a modest budget. 

The new EHR (whether upgraded or new) requires larger servers, new devices, central monitors, printers, and tablets. 

The wireless infrastructure must be upgraded to eliminate known dead spots in areas of the facility. 

The hospital wants to more effectively take advantage of select features such as clinical decision support and incorporate evidence-based clinical practices.
