• Create the Admission, Discharge, and Transfer Module (requires subtask I, configuration period: 25 days, training period: 10 days)
• Subtask I: Create the Patient Registration Module (requires subtask II, configuration period: 4 days, training period: 4 days)
• Subtask II: Create the Master Patient Index (configuration period: 4 days)

When nurses have a question about a clinical practice issue that they can turn to the literature to see what scientific evidence is available that addresses their question.
