Healthcare Informatics Assignment Project

HIM 500 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric Overview: In this milestone, you will submit your recommendations for technology for the institution and how it will be implemented. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

III. Technology System Recommendations: In this final section of your final project, you will review the provided technology options and make informed recommendations to the organization regarding which technology it should choose. Healthcare Informatics Assignment Project

A. Determine the needs of the various roles of the organization in a new technology. B. Recommend a new health information technology system that meets the following criteria. Be sure to justify how your recommendations meet

the criteria. The new health technology must: 1. Abide by provided health regulations and laws 2. Align with the needs of all staff members of the previously described organization 3. Ensure the ethical management and use of health information

C. Determine how the organization could more effectively invest its financial resources into the recommended technology system. Be sure to justify your response.

D. Determine how the organization could monitor the use of the new health information system. Be sure to justify your response. E. Determine how the organization could effectively invest its time into the implementation of the new health information technology system. Be

sure to justify your response. Guidelines for Submission: This milestone must be 2–3 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. All references cited in APA format.

HIM 500 Module Seven Activity Guidelines and Rubric This activity will help you practice evaluating technology systems and the factors used to evaluate them. This activity is a companion to the milestone due in this module and will help you with your technology recommendations. For this activity, complete the following: Using the Evaluation Matrix Template provided, complete the evaluation of the clinical information system (CIS) for the two vendors listed in the Technology Information Sheet. A portion of the evaluation matrix has been completed, but you will need to add additional items to fully vet the vendors. You will need to come up with at least two additional evaluation factors along the lines of security, usability, functionality, accessibility, etc. to complete this assignment. Review the Evaluation Matrix Example to help you complete your matrix. Support your answer with relevant sources. You will be graded on the following critical elements: Healthcare Informatics Assignment Project

 Complete: Did you fill out all of the existing fields for each of the technologies/vendors?

 Additional Evaluation Factors: Did you include at least two additional evaluation factors? You can take inspiration from the completed example.

 Support: Did you support your answers? For example, if you gave a high score to one of the vendors on a certain element, can you explain why? You may use the Technology Information Sheet as a source.

Note: It is suggested that you complete this activity before you finish the milestone in this module. However, you do not need to wait for instructor feedback on this assignment to complete the milestone. You can incorporate the feedback from this assignment and the milestone before you submit the final project in Module Nine. Guidelines for Submission: Use the Evaluation Matrix Template to complete this assignment. All sources should be cited using APA style.
