Case Study, Stage 2: EHR Technology Solution Proposal
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the “UMUC Family Clinic Case Study”, your syllabus readings, and feedback on your graded Stage 1.
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your analysis and research skills and your knowledge of technology solutions and EHR systems to improve a business process. In this assignment, you will evaluate technology solutions in the healthcare industry, i.e. Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, to improve the quality of care. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes to enable you to:

  • Evaluate technology solutions in the health care industry to improve the quality of care, safety, and financial management incentives.

 
UMUC Family Clinic Medical Practice
In your Stage 1 Project, you analyzed a process and modelled the AS IS process. You then optimized the process/workflow and modeled the TO BE process.
For your Stage 2 Project for the Case Study, you will evaluate EHR system solutions and propose a technology solution that will improve the process you modelled in Stage 1 and improve the quality of care, safety, and financial management incentives for the UMUC Family Clinic.
Be sure to read the instructions for the remaining projects in this Case Study (Stages 3-4) to get an understanding of the future projects that build on the proposed solution and to help you in deciding upon your solution.
