2.Assignment: News Story
Search the Internet for news about security breaches in healthcare in the last three years. Based on this information, create a news story for the purpose of reporting this information to the public. This story is purely fictional but based on the real facts that are included in the textbook summary. You can include in your news story a date that the event occurred, names of involved parties and as many additional details as possible. This news story should be about a page in length and any references cited should be inAPA format.
3. Prior to completing this assignment preview the modules on the Waiting Room Solutions websitehttp://www.waitingroomsolutions.com/wrs/Instant-Demo-and-Tutorials and Allscripts Demo http://www.ndm.net/allscripts/allscripts-myway-emr-a-pm-recorded-demo-access
This assignment has three parts. Complete all three and submit it to your instructor as a single document.
NOTE: The information submitted in this assignment will help you complete LP6.2 Assignment: Develop a Training Plan.
- How would you create a training program for users on the Waiting Room Solutions software? Select one module form the Waiting Room Solutions software (for Example, the patient look up function) and visualize how a user with no previous knowledge or experience using the module would adapt to using it without training. What differences would be apparent after a user completes a training program for this module functionality? How would this enhance their user experience?
- Research the advantages and disadvantages of various training strategies.
What type of training strategies would you view as being important to include in a system implementation training program? - Search the Web for an article about a health information system training program. Analyze any issues discussed in the article that affect training effectiveness (e.g., costs, staffing, computer requirements, confidentiality, system updates, etc.). Think of ways to provide reasonable solutions for overcoming these training challenges.
Include your answers/responses in a one page word document
LP6.2 Assignment: Develop a Training Plan
Directions
Develop a training plan for a hospital that is implementing a new health care information system. Use the information that you obtained in LP6.1 Assignment: Training to complete this assignment. The system that is being implemented is the system you chose in LP6.1 Assignment: Training (either Waiting Room Solutions or Allscripts). Include the type of training strategies that you would view as being important to include in a system implementation training program. Compare this training plan to the one that you researched in LP6.1 Assignment: Training. Discuss the issues that you would be certain to avoid and how they would be avoided. This training plan should be about a page in length and it should include any references that were used in 6th edition APA format
LP7.1 Assignment: Sample Deployment Plan
Directions
Create a sample system deployment plan that can be used for one of the Electronic Health Record applications. You can use either Allscripts or Waiting Room Solutions to complete this assignment or you can also use the same application that was chosen in the Learning Plan 6 assignment “Develop a training plan for successful system implementation”.
Not sure what a deployment plan is? You MUST search the web for examples. Here is the link to one example:http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/cadiv/segb/views/document/sections/section8/8_4_10.htm
Remember these are the questions you need to answer:
1. Explain what resources are required to ensure the plan is successful
2. Make sure to include information about which application functions are going to be used
3. What type of healthcare setting the system is being implemented in.
4. State reasons why this particular application was chosen for this healthcare setting.
5. Determine the most appropriate approach for system deployment
6. Describe risks involved in the system deployment (for example, costs, time, system failure).
7. Explain how the risks would be managed.
8. Explain the challenges in regard to privacy, security, legal aspects, and data quality
LP8.1 Assignment: Creating an evaluation tool
Directions
Create an evaluation tool to measure user satisfaction with system output, interface, training, and information systems staff. It should begin with a brief explanation of the system that was implemented. You can use the same system that was chosen in the Learning Plan 7 assignment “Develop a sample deployment plan for a health care information system”. Create questions that will be asked and be sure to include a list of the people that will be interviewed and the role they played in the system implementation. This evaluation tool should be about a page in length and it should include any references that were used inAPA format
LP8.2 Assignment: Projects Directions
Think of a time when you were involved in the completion of a project involving a great deal of time and many resources. It could be a personal project or one that was completed for school or work, such as the completion of a garden at home, a research paper for school or the implementation of a new system at work. Can you summarize the challenges that were presented during the project? How were they overcome? Make a list of what they were and the resolution to each. Do you think things could have been done better (more efficiently or effectively) if the project were to be repeated? Reflect on your answers to these questions and then choose a project where you have been involved. In a one page paper, discuss the challenges and resolutions to the challenges of the project
LP9 Assignment: ARRA compliance
