Hospital Systems, Ancillary Services, and Physician Practices are often the focus of HIT initiatives. While these settings are key areas for HIT advancement and data acquisition, there are places within the continuum of care that often lack automation or comprehensive data management strategies, creating gaps in the longitudinal health record and both an individual and population level.
To Prepare for this Assignment:
Review the Final Project Scenarios in your Learning Resources and select a setting of care from one of these scenarios:
Long-Term Care
Critical Access Hospital
Telemedicine for Rural-Based Health Facility
Research current and specific clinical and financial management problems in these settings of care and evaluate how technology might be justified to address the most pressing challenges.
The Assignment:
Write a 3- to 4-page (excluding title and reference pages) APA style paper, addressing the following elements for the scenario that you choose.
This will also be the scenario used to complete your Final Project. For this Assignment, address the elements of a project Charter used to plan the acquisition of an HIT solution for the setting of choice. The Charter should include:
Problem statement. A specific statement of the problems that you intend to address in this scenario using technology solutions.
Scope of the HIT solution to be acquired.
This includes both the technical elements of the scope and the business and clinical functional elements of the scope.
Stakeholders analysis including the needs of both internal and external stakeholders. This analysis includes a summary of the business and clinical system functions that the technology should address for each of the executive stakeholders.
Risk Analysis.
A specific statement of the financial, technical, legal, ethical, and operational risks involved in introducing HIT into this setting and the feasible mitigation strategies to address these risks
Note: The paper should be 3-4 pages, not including the title and reference pages. Your Assignment must be written in standard edited English.
Be sure to support your work with 4-6 specific citations from this week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate.
Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
Your Assignment should show effective application of triangulation of content and resources to show your conclusion and recommendations. See the Week 4 Assignment Rubric for additional requirements related to research and scholarly writing.
