EHR CASE STUDY

INSTRUCTIONS for ASSIGNMENT 3 As the EHR consultant to UMUC Family Clinic, write a paper to propose to this firm which EHR system you recommend; what it will do; what hardware, software and telecommunications components he will need to acquire; whether the system will be hosted locally or in the cloud; and explain how the proposed technology solution will improve the patient visit process, and the quality of care, safety, and/or financial management decisions at the UMUC Family Clinic. Formatting. As this is to be a formal document deliverable to your client, it must include a full outline (see the rubric below for relevant sections), to include an Introduction or Background, and Conclusion. These are your opportunities to lead the thinking of your client. This is gradable under Report Format. For academic writing, the writer is expected to write in the third person. In third person, the writer avoids the pronouns I, we, my, our, you and your. The third person is used to make the writing more objective by taking the individual, the self, out of the writing. This method is very helpful for academic writing, a form in which facts, not opinion, drive the tone of the text. Writing in the third person allows the writer to come across as unbiased and thus more informed. Your paper should be about two pages, single spaced. Add a title page, and a reference page. You should include at least one external source. These are sources other than those provided in the classroom. Sources should be scholarly or professional in nature, rather than random websites. Sources should include the vendor\’s website. NOTE: More than one external source is required to earn full points. Use APA formatted citations and references for all external sources used. Compare your final work to the rubric to be sure you have met content and quality criteria. Again, do not ignore this step. Submit your paper via your Assignment folder as a Word document, or a document that can be read in Word, with your last name included in the filename(s) (LASTNAME_Stage3). Create a document that includes the following: Title Develop a brief introduction providing the background of the case, why you are writing and what is to come in your proposal. This should only be 5+ sentences. Proposed Technical Solution Select and propose a specific EHR system for the UMUC Family Clinic. The system should be one that would improve the patient visit process as described in the case study and as modeled in the Stage 1 assignment. You will want to propose a system that has been certified to perform certain functions, and is listed as a \”complete\” EHR system (vs. one that focuses on only one or two of the processes). Focus on a single EHR system solution that would help to improve the patient visit process. To source your data, look up the up-to-date list of certified complete EHRs on the ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT) website at the following URL and then complete the steps that follow: http://oncchpl.force.com/ehrcert/ Select \”View All Products\” (located just under the search bar). On the page that comes up, you will want to search using the following search criteria: Certification Edition: 2014 Select Practice Type: Ambulatory Select Classification: Complete EHR Select one or more Certification Criteria to find EHR systems that support the patient visit process. (Note that not all EHR systems address all process areas.) Refer to the Certification Criteria, in Content>Course Resources for a list that corresponds to the numbers provided; or mouse-over the number to see the corresponding criterion. You will then provide in your paper the following bulleted information on the certified EHR that you have selected: Product: ___________________ Version: ___________________ Vendor: ___________________ CHPL Product Number (under \”Details\”): ___________________ Describe the system in one paragraph. Go to the vendor\’s website and research what the system does and some of its selling points. Your description should demonstrate that the selected system fits the UMUC Clinic\’s needs and will improve the patient visit process. Incorporate your references. Solution Components List the major hardware, software and communications (including local connectivity and internet access, if appropriate) components that will be needed, and the number of each needed for the implementation at the UMUC Family Clinic. The vendors website should list the major hardware/software requirements for implementing the system. How many of each you list is dependent on the solution you propose, but the important components needed to implement your proposed solution should be included. For example, you may have one PC for the front desk and one for each of the three examination rooms, and they will have to connect to some system somewhere. Or you may decide to have one PC for the front office, and a tablet or laptop each for the doctor and the two nurses, also connected to some system somewhere. Your list should be applicable to your proposed solution, should improve the patient visit process, and be appropriate for the UMUC Family Clinic. (Remember, there is currently no information technology implemented at the clinic other than the outdated scheduling software on the single front desk PC.) Explanation of SaaS verses In-House Solution You will also need to specify whether your EHR system will be hosted (installed) on computer equipment to be located in the clinic or if it will run as Software as a Service (SaaS) via the Internet (i.e., \”in the cloud\”). (For a definition of SaaS, please see the note in the box below.) You will need to evaluate the clinics needs and the vendors offering. Some vendors offer only one or the other, some offer both methods of access. There are advantages to selecting SaaS for smaller clinics, like reducing the need for an IT staff, but it also comes with a price tag. Provide the reasoning behind your selection. Explanation of Selection of Certified EHR System 4. Explain how the proposed technology solution will improve the patient visit process, and the quality of care, safety, and/or financial management decisions at the UMUC Family Clinic. Note that a significant percentage of the overall grade is based on this explanation. Conclusion Develop a brief conclusion providing the synopsis of your thoughts of this proposal, HOW you arrived at these conclusions, and WHAT they mean to your client. This should only be 5+ sentences. Your paper will be evaluated on whether or not you correctly incorporated the course concepts from the textbook and readings, and have addressed all parts of the assignment. What, exactly, you propose as a technology solution will be evaluated as to whether it is appropriate for the UMUC Family Clinic and could actually improve the patient visit process, and whether it is fully thought-out and supported with application of course concepts and research. Remember, this is an information systems management course, and your solution must be an information technology solution specifically an EHR system. Use the Rubric below to be sure you have covered all aspects.

Management of Change Assignment

Assignment Guidelines Assignment task Your assessment submission should take the form of a case study of your organizational change. It should be in two parts, as detailed below. Part One case study (1000 words) The first part should take the form of a short descriptive case study; the aim of this should be to outline the nature, scope and extent of the change considered along with the key stakeholders, milestones and issues. Feel free to use pseudonyms if you prefer not to name your organization or particular role-players in it. The case should be capable of being read as a stand-alone narrative of the organizational change under consideration, that gives readers enough information to develop their own understanding and analysis of this change. Your case should have a clear and distinct title. The case can take a particular focus on the change considered (such as culture, resistance, leadership, etc.) should you wish. If this strategy is adopted, this should be clearly indicated in the title of Part 1 of your work (e.g. Management of Change Assignment, Part 1 Managing Cultural Change in P&G). Your case should conclude with five questions for discussion/further study. It is likely that the use of academic literature in the case study will be limited, but you may draw on some aspects of the literature to illustrate the nature of the change and/or the organization. Part Two teaching note/model answers (2000 words) The second part of your assignment should contain the following information: 1. An outline of the main learning points contained in your case. 2. Brief answers to the questions you identified at the end of your case, with reference to the module materials and your wider reading around the subject area. This will then enable you to link the main issues in your case to relevant models, concepts and theories. One way to approach this is to imagine you are a teacher who has given your case study to a group of students. You have asked them to answer the questions you have posed. In this section, describe what you would expect the best students to include in their answers, drawing on information from the case and relevant theoretical frameworks from the module or from wider reading. In order to be able to demonstrate your knowledge and analysis skills, you will need to choose your questions carefully. No material about the case itself that is not available in the case study should be brought into the answers. 3. A reference list of all sources referred to, including any used in Part 1. It is not necessary to include an introduction and conclusion around the two parts of this assignment, but the start of the case itself and the teaching note should be clearly indicated and credit will be given for structuring each of these in an appropriate way. It is likely that each part will be roughly equal in length but depending on the case and the questions, you may want one part to be slightly longer than the other. As with most assignments, the reference list, tables and figures are not included for the word count. Please use all of the below Models to explain the case Nadler and Tushmans congruence model Six Images Framework Chaos Theroy and Change Management Internal Organizational Change drivers Six-box Organizational model The 7-s framework The Star Model The Four-Frame Model GAP Analysis PESTLE Framework Scenario Planning Force-Field Analysis Stakeholder Analysis Organizational Culture Impact of digitization Change Communication Process Contingency Approach to Change Management Organizational Development Stage Models of Change Management: Unfreezing Moving Refreezing The Classic Change Curve Sustainability and Effective Change Management The Change Leadership Effective Change Manager Appendix reflective account The appendix should contain a brief, reflective description of your learning in this module maximum 250 words. Writing this reflective account will help you to examine how your own learning was complemented by engaging in interactive discussions and to draw links between the theoretical material discussed in the units related to the management of change and the practical issues you faced when applying these in your assessment. Therefore, your reflective account should include these elements: An evaluation of what theoretical aspects of the management of change you found you could apply in your own context. Reflection on your own individual learning and your learning in an interactive discussion forum. A summary of what you have learnt from doing this assignment and how it could inform your future work. Additional appendices to be added. Please note: the total appendices must not exceed 15 pages. ADD TABLES, LISTS, FIGURES, GRAPHS, STATISTICS, STUDIES, ANALYSIS THROUGHOUT THE ASSIGNMENT. Please note this is not included in the word count mentioned above
