Week 2 Assignment: 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.
