THE TYPES AND PURPOSES OF SYSTEMS THAT ARE IMPLEMENTED IN HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS

Implementing a Health Information System 
A well designed health information system can lead to safer patient care and to streamlined work processes. Yet in most circumstances, the introduction of new technology brings new hurdles to overcome and can even cause staff frustration and inefficiency. This is especially true if the IT implementation strategy is not appropriately defined and planned.
Prepare for this Discussion as follows:

  • Consider the types and purposes of systems that are implemented in health care organizations and the needs of the diverse stakeholders (including clinicians, staff, and patients) who use these systems.
  • Select a specific type of system in a clinical or administrative area of particular interest to you. Invent a scenario in which this system is being introduced into a particular (hypothetical) health care organization, and you are a member of a cross-functional team charged with leading the system’s implementation.
  • Conduct online research to find out more information, as needed, about the requirements of and challenges related to using this system.
  • Think through the steps needed for a successful implementation of this system, and anticipate likely obstacles, both technical and human, in the implementation phase. For your scenario, what would your implementation plan include?

 
Assignment. Answer each question separately under separate heading in bold please. 2 pages.

  • Briefly, describe the information system and the hypothetical health care organization you have selected for this scenario.
  • As a member of a cross-functional team charged with leading the implementation of this system, describe two challenges that your team might expect to encounter during the implementation process. Provide a rationale for your response.
  • Describe two critical factors for the successful implementation of that system. How do you think these two approaches will help mitigate the anticipated challenges?

    1. Identify the topic of your Final Project
      • Describe the issue, why it was selected, the perspective of approach, and the scope of the paper.

 

    1. Provide an outline of your project
      • The outline should include a heading for each section of the Research Paper/PowerPoint Presentation (including one for the thesis and the conclusion) as well as heading descriptions. Subheadings should also be used with a description of each subheading. These should demonstrate that you have done significant research, evaluation, and critical thinking on the issues involved and should illustrate the strategies you would incorporate and implement for the scenario you are creating.
  1. Create an annotated bibliography
    • The annotated bibliography should contain at least five scholarly sources that you intend to use in your project. Each listing must include a paraphrased narrative of the actual research study presented in the article and the studies used should represent the most current research related to the topic area.

Your outline and annotated bibliography must adhere to proper APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. You may also find samples of each in the Ashford Writing Center, which is located under Learning Resources in the left-hand navigation panel of your classroom.
Your assignment should be four to six pages as follows:

LESSONS THAT THE “STOPPING OUTSHOPPING” CASE COULD TEACH HEALTH CARE EXECUTIVES ABOUT COMPLACENCY

  1. Based on the textbook’s summary of Timothy’s philosophy of continually striving for excellence, determine whether or not Scarlet Hospital was prepared to compete with the establishment in Salem even before the highway improvement mandated such an upgrade in delivery health care services.
  2. Examine the potential lessons that the “Stopping Outshopping” case could teach health care executives about complacency.
  3. Evaluate the potential value of Michael Porter’s Five Forces analysis and SWOT Analysis for effective decision making, in its ability to help Scarlet Hospital protect its market share and thus decrease the chance of losing patients to other institutions in Salem.
  4. Appraise the value of the Balanced Scorecard model in its ability to help Scarlet Hospital executives reinforce its defensive marketing strategy.
  5. Propose a one (1) page offensive marketing strategy (i.e. communication, branding, innovation, etc.) that Scarlet Hospital should deploy in order to turn the table on Salam-based health care providers and improve its competitive marketing position.
