Week 4 - Assignment

Knowledge Management
 

In the health care field the acquisition of knowledge is important to improve patient care. The process of identifying, managing, and sharing this information is called knowledge management. For this assignment, read the Health Informatics: A Systems Perspective, Chapter 8 Case Study on pages 172-174, and create a strategy to leverage the knowledge base of the practice against the value of knowledge within the developing accountable care organization (ACO), Health Information Exchange (HIE), and Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). In your paper:

• Differentiate between the role      of an HIE and a RHIO.
• What are the implications of      collaborating with an HIE and RHIO?
• Create a policy on who can      access knowledge generated by the practice and how would it be used.
• Assess each of the five quality      domains specified by the ACO mandate, and justify their inclusion or      exclusion. What are the implications of each on the structure of the      clinical process and on the information system that supports the process?
• Compare and contrast the      differences between explicit, expressed, implicit, latent and tacit      knowledge.  What is the importance of each one? 
• Distinguish between the two      organizations in your response.

Your Paper:

• Must be a minimum of two to      three, double-spaced pages in length, excluding the title and reference      pages, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford      Writing Center.
• Include a title page with the      following: 
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Begin with an introductory      paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
• Address the topic of the paper      with critical thought.
• Use at least three scholarly      sources (excluding the textbook), two of which are from the Ashford      University Library.
• All sources should be listed in      APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Include a separate reference      page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing      Center. 

 Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
