HTM 310: Health Informatics Course Project Website
Trying Something New!
HTM 310 Course Project Website

It is about leveraging technological innovation to work for all the people who collectively comprise our healthcare delivery systems
Types of people/organizations and their needs for connectivity and use of healthcare information, communication, and guidance systems
Who?
Target your website to be a reference for a specific audience and include a brief introduction
For example, you may focus this as a guide for
Students - fellow public health or allied health students,

Consumer - simply the health care consumer

Website Considerations
Voice - Overall, hear your own personal voice and not others as you read your paper.
1
Impact - Express the impact of technology on the lives of people or populations as this is the core value of informatics in action.
2
Evidence - Include references that confidently substantiate opinions with data and evidence.
3
Wow - Say to yourself that this project has a “wow” factor. There is something about it that you really want to share with others so the interest and excitement naturally come through. Write as you are publishing in a professional journal and soon you will be. Make this a project to show your abilities to your current or future boss or client.

How should I organize the website?
HOME / ABOUT US Tab: Who? Provide a short introduction and describe your intended audience and purpose
For the patient (for example - improved health, better customer service/more efficient)
For the provider/care team (better decisions due to clinical support, information accessibility)
For the department/organization (financial return on investment, staff retention/satisfaction)
For the community/populations (improved immunization rates, improved accessibility or affordability of care, better indicators for populations of people with a specific condition such as people with diabetes, asthma, etc. )
RESOURCES Tab: What? Provide information in your own words and provide links to additional websites / resources
Health Informatics: Why? Discuss the value and impact information technology has provided for your intended audience. Identify specific apps and mobile devices, etc. Discuss the role they play on improving healthcare – in your own words. Use data and case studies to support your claim. Consider what progress has been made even though it may not be perfect, focus on process improvements that have been made, outcomes achieved, and lessons learned. Along the way, you may also include ideas and reference the text book.
REFERENCES: Cite your references on a Resource tab, just as you would in a term paper
