Term Paper

Write a three (3) page paper on the application and challenges involved with implementing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for a private family medicine practice. This is a small family practice with 3 doctors and a HIT budget of $60,000 annually and $150,000 for upfront expenditures.

You must follow the Term Paper Template Download Term Paper Template . Not using the template or writing a paper that deviates from the required template will result in a zero (0) for the assignment.

A sample paper Download sample paper is provided for your review. DO NOT copy any material from the sample. The sample paper is from 2018 and does not contain all the same sections and prompts as the 2020 version.

The term paper must answer the following questions.

1. What are the most important functionalities of the EHR that need to be implemented at the practice?

2. Is it possible for any existing Practice Management Systems to be integrated with the EHR?

3. Identify any two critical challenges in implementing the EHR.

4. Identify any four critical advantages the EHR would provide to the practice.

5. How would you manage the project planning and implementation of this EHR?

6. Explain the technology security considerations and how HIPAA governs its implementation.

7. Discuss strategies for disaster recovery and include discussion on storage media options

8. Evaluate cloud computing considerations, to include cloud-hosted versus local installation

9. Make a recommendation on the type of EHR system this practice should adopt and support your decision using data.

The following good practices can help in securing a higher grade for this assignment: • Using references/citations appropriate to the content of the answer • Providing examples that will support your answers or claims

Hint: Use the UCF library resources to access articles or other useful material that discusses the topics describes in the question statement. Based on the knowledge gathered from these materials develop your strategy/solution/ approach and describe it in your own words. If you are using any sentences or phrases used in the resource quote them using quotations (“…“) with an appropriate in-text citation (example: [1]). Please make sure that you list all the resources that you have used in the reference list.

To help you organize your paper, I have provided a sample template. Please download and use this template for your term paper. The template can be located in your modules section of the term paper.
