Performance Recording, Integration, Delivery, and Evaluation (PRIDE) Chapters 7–12 begin with a scenario using a hypothetical cloud-based, mobile application for the health care industry. These are the major factors involved in the PRIDE system. Flores' practice will develop a prototype of the healthcare and patient portion of the PRIDE system. The prototype will be used to learn whether patients will respond and whether his patients and those of his partners achieve the benefits they expect. Once they have answers to those questions, they will determine how to proceed to an operational system that involves other organizations. Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
