Data flow diagrams (DFDs) are utilized for documenting logical design of information system by illustrating graphically different entry and exit touch points in a HMIS. Data flow diagrams give a way for system to be broken down into manageable parts starting with a general context and moving into more detail.
Draft the DFD for one area you recognize from the list below:
1. Patient admission
2. Perioperative (pre, intra, post)
3. Departmental handoff
4. Medical billing/insurance
5. Physician ordering
6. Supply chain management
7. Security management (include HIPAA guidelines)
8. Other (instructor's approval required)
Write down the two- to three-page summary (excluding title and reference pages) in APA format wrtting DFD for your selected area. In additionally, give a graphic version of DFD which is compartmentalized to create optimized results, for benefit of HMIS team and other stakeholders. Use at least two scholarly and/ or peer-reviewed sources published in last five years, cited according to APA guidelines.
