Preparation

In preparation for this assessment, you may wish to look at the following for some ideas about workflows, settings, and/or technology/informatics. These sites provide information about how informatics/technologies are employed to positively impact patient safety, process optimization, and quality. They present step-by-step guidance and offer case studies in a variety of practice types.

· HealthIT.gov. (n.d.).  Health IT playbook . https://www.healthit.gov/playbook/

Instructions

In this first assessment, create a 4 pages document, exploring the overall technology usage in your current institution, an institution you have previously worked, or an institution that you hope to work with in the future. The context of the technology usage you are reporting on should specifically relate to your practice setting (for example, acute care facility, primary care office, or academic setting) within the institution as a whole.

Overall, your assessment will be assessed on the following criteria:

· Analyze the benefits of the chosen technology that has been implemented within the context of a specific practice setting.

. What are the benefits of the specific technologies/informatics implemented in your practice setting?

· Explain what are perceived to be the obstacles to utilizing the chosen technology within a specific practice setting, noting generalized examples from a single viewpoint or stakeholder.

. What do you perceive are current obstacles to use of these technologies/informatics within your setting?

· Create a workflow for the usage of the chosen technology within a specific practice setting.

. How would you redesign the workflow (execution of a series of tasks) because of the technology/informatics usage within the context of your chosen practice setting?

· Convey purpose in a well-organized video presentation, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.

Additional Requirements

· Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.
