Transfusion Management System is software that oversees blood transfusion processes. Blazer Hospital has a homegrown Transfusion Management System TMS which is outdated and cannot handle its current demand volume. Blazer Hospital is considering three alternatives for its TMS:
Option Do nothing
Option Maintain its existing digital platform $ or
Option Purchase a new application by making a new contract with an IT vendor.
o LABSolution regular product $
o LABSolution pilot product varying costs
o A substitute vendor $
No matter what decision the hospital makes, it expects increasing utilization of TMS or no increase in the next five years. If Blazer Hospital does nothing with Option there is no cost or profit. If Blazer Hospital maintains its existing digital platform with Option and there is a growing need of TMS increasing demand it will make $ if there is no growth in demand, it will only make $ If it decides to purchase an application through outsourcing Option it will wait to see if there is demand growth or not before it makes the next decision as follows:
If there is growth initially,
o One of its decisions can be to make a contract with LABSolution and implement the system at this time which will cost $
After expansion, if growth continues with a probability of it will make $
After expansion, if there is no continued demand growth with a probability of it will only make $
o Alternately, they could buy a pilot system, which can lead to a net expected profit of $revenue cost
If there is no increasing demand initially,
o Look for a substitute vendor for $purchase implementation costs
If they build an application with a substitute vendor and market turns around and there is demand growth with a probability of they will make $
If the market does not turn around with a probability of they will only make $
o Buy a pilot system from LABSolution, which can lead to a net expected profit of $the value has decreased
