The main advantages of external sourcing are that it is cost-effective and the organization will get the best kind of expertise for the service they require (Wager et al., 2017). The disadvantage of this method of acquisition is that at times the privacy of the patient information can be compromised and this can decrease the loyalty of the facility. The advantage of internal information system development is that it can make it makes work easier especially accessing the information of the patients, and the privacy of the patient information is maintained. The setback of this method is that there will most likely be no experts to handle the computers and if experts are hired it will mean more costs to the organization.
