Week 1 Assignment: 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.
