NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:Discussion: The SIPOC Tool Utilized

Week 1 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Review the major tenets of the HIMSS position paper Transforming Nursing Practice Through Technology and Informatics by clicking on the link here or in the required resources for this week. Contrast it to a healthcare setting familiar to you. Describe your organization’s status in regards to the position paper Discussion Prompt 2 Nursing informatics is dynamic and continues to evolve over time. What information technology (e.g., bar coding, EHR, mobile devices) have you witnessed that positively affected and supported safe patient care? Share specific examples and explain why and how you feel they have supported patient safety. Week 2 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 How is organizational culture and the SIPOC tool utilized in project planning? Describe the importance of understanding the strategic vision and alignment of the organization where the system change occurs and how this affects information technology implementation. Discussion Prompt 2 State two major theories and models underpinning informatics and apply one of the theories to a clinical system problem in a healthcare organization. Justify your choice of this theory to the selected problem. Week 3 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Think about the Systems Life Cycle Scenario Activity you completed. Describe how clinical nurse experts assigned to an IT team selecting and implementing an EHR for a healthcare organization might address the issues of user experience and usability. Explain the importance of usability testing in the adoption of health information technology (HIT) and provide an example of HIT best practices. Discussion Prompt 2 Select a usability questionnaire of your choice from the web link below, and measure your interaction with the newest HIT system or device in your clinical practice. Are you surprised by this usability score? Why or why not? http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Usability_and_user_experience_surveys Week 4 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Discuss an example of a project that did not have a clear problem statement, and include information on how the problem statement could have been more effective. (You can refer to projects that you have observed in committees and performance improvement projects if you do not have personal experience.) Discussion Prompt 2 Identify policy and standards of a healthcare organization, and identify the governing licensing and accrediting bodies and their judicial relationship with that healthcare organization. Describe legitimate consequences and/or negative actions if these policies and standards are not accomplished by the healthcare organization. Remember to consider external licensing and accreditation organizations as well as the standing healthcare organization’s own internal policies. Week 5 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Discuss how to apply two of the identified EBP into the Requirements Phase II of your identified clinical IT problem. Create and share high-level project goals within the system life cycle using the SMART technique to develop them. Discussion Prompt 2 Discuss how dashboards contribute to the success of good project management and how you will incorporate it into your current project. Note if it creates efficiency or redundancy in your actions and its overall effect on the project progress. Week 6 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Compare and contrast the scope statement and the statement of work. Discussion Prompt 2 In regards to your chosen HIT project, what barriers do you anticipate the project manager will face trying to meet the requirements for the meaningful use stage? Bullet your responses and prioritize them in order of importance, explaining your rationale. Week 7 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 After reviewing the required resources this week on quality measures, discuss a quality outcome measure that you could apply to your HIT project. Be specific on how you would determine the success or failure of the outcome with the implementation of the tool. Discussion Prompt 2 Discuss the importance of a well-defined project timeline and the risks of not having a project timeline. Week 8 discussion Discussion Prompt 1 Apply Rogers’ theory of innovation and discuss the role as a clinical leader with a strong user voice when new information technology systems evolve in your healthcare organization. Discussion Prompt 2 Describe the benefits link between IT implementation and tangible and intangible benefits such as patient safety, cost savings, and time saved experienced by an organization with SLC projects. Week 1 Health Informatics Technology (HIT) Paper The purpose of this assignment is to explore and present a summary of the literature on a selected successful health informatics technology (HIT) project that focuses on its application, trend, or issue influencing consumer, clinical, and public health informatics. Instructions Perform an online literature search using the university library and/or Google Scholar to identify three or more scientific articles addressing a health informatics technology project that has been successfully completed/implemented. Write a problem statement related to this healthcare informatics technology project. In a three- to four-page paper, summarize the project/problem while integrating the evidence-based practices surrounding it. Provide a list of references in current APA style. When choosing your HIT project/problem to focus on this week, remember that you will use this same project/problem throughout the course for each upcoming weekly assignment. You will basically be hypothetically taking this project through all phases of a project charter as if you were acting as the project manager for its implementation at a facility. Make sure that you not only choose an HIT project that is meaningful and interesting to you, but one that you know has been successfully implemented already and has a substantial amount of research/data associated with it. Week 2 HIT Gap Analysis Presentation The purpose of this assignment is to analyze an issue or topic addressed through a critical gap analysis and further literature review within health informatics technology (HIT) . Instructions Looking at the same literature/HIT project that you used last week to generate your HIT paper, define at least one major gap surrounding your informatics topic. Sources for this gap analysis may include the general media, online literature searches using the university library and/or Google Scholar, interviews of health practitioners, and interviews of the general public. Summarize the gap(s) regarding this topic in an online presentation. Use Kaltura to create the presentation. It should be between seven and ten narrated slides (including a reference slide) or an approximate equivalent for video. Review the Getting Started with Kaltura link in your main menu if you need a refresher on using the tool. Make sure to provide a list of references in current APA style. Week 3 Table and Summary of HIT Gaps This assignment builds on assignments 1 and 2. The purpose is to synthesize critical gap analysis by proposing creative solutions for the health informatics/information technology issue. Instructions Based on the literature review and major gap(s) identified in your HIT project for the first two assignments, propose a creative solution(s) that would resolve the gap(s) and ensure inclusion of evidenced based practices in the solution. Sources for a proposed solution(s) may include the general media, online literature searches using the university library and/or Google Scholar, interviews of health practitioners, developers, computer scientists, technology experts, and the general public. Summarize the solution(s) regarding this topic in a table. The information integrated from the literature will be presented via a tabular column similar to the one shown. Distinct columns will name the discovered gaps, state the evidence-based practice from the literature, and possible solutions based on this information. You will also write a two-paragraph summary below the table stating important takeaways based on the table for your informatics project. Provide a list of references in current APA style.
