IDENTIFY AND ANALYZE THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS THAT COMPRISE YOUR HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY’S TRENDS AND POLICIES.

Examine how strategic thinking and planning affect the internal and external environments specific to your health care services by completing the following:

  • Identify and analyze the various elements that comprise your health care industry’s trends and policies
  • Define and explain the economic and business conditions, premises, policies, and other related forces that form the basis for generating change in your health care organization.
  • Identify and analyze specific issues revolving around health care management and policy analysis specific to your selected organization.
  • Examine the different types of markets in the health care system and the determinants of supply and demand in each market specific to your selected organization.

Your two-page report should contain an introduction and a conclusion. Resources and citations should be formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.

DESCRIBE HOW AN EMR SYSTEM CAN ADVANCE THE STRATEGIES OF A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER ORGANIZATION

Health Information System
Textbook for  Reference: 
Wager, K. A. (2013). Health Care Information Systems: A Practical Approach for Health Care Management, 3e
Instructions: I rather hear about your experiences, experiences of others you know, opinions and ideas when answering the following questions. Must write up from 75  to 150 word count.

  1. What is the systems-development life cycle? Why is it important to the selection of an information system?
  2. The SDLC (system development life cycle) involves several phases.The implementation phase can be the most challenging and it is the phase that is at most risk of failure.  Why is the implementation phase at such risk for failure?
  3. Third is the Implementation Phase; in this phase, the system is installed and evaluated in the organization’s operational environment.”

What are some common challenges that occur during the “go-live” or implementation stages of an information technology project? Other than staff training, how can these challenges be minimized?

  1. The SDLC also needs to be in alignment with the strategy of an organization. However, creating a cost-efficient information technology system that is in alignment with strategic goals of the organization can be a major challenge. Which department in a health care organization is frequently in charge of planning the development of an information technology system? What is their primary role?
  2. Determining the scope of an information technology project can be overwhelming. What is a good first step in identifying the scope of an IT project?
  3. What is an electronic medical record (EMR)? Describe how an EMR system can advance the strategies of a health care provider organization
  4. Imagine you have been selected to consult for a prestigious health care organization. Your ultimate goal is to develop a proposal to present to the board of the organization. At their last meeting, the board asked you to prepare a proposal on how the organization might adopt a technology trend to improve the quality of the health care delivered to organization members.

Research various types, uses, and effects of technology across the health care industry.
Write a 350-700 word summary describing various types and uses of technology across the health care industry and their impact. Also, identify the technology trend you will recommend for the health care organization.
Cite at least two peer-reviewed references from the University Library.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Discuss the ethical or legal requirements and responsibilities that a health care organization has in ensuring that its facility is licensed, certified, and accredited.

DISCUSS THE METHOD(S) OF REIMBURSEMENT THAT YOU BELIEVE WILL WORK BEST FOR THE HEALTH CARE FACILITY THAT YOU HAVE PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED

Apply business principles to the management of the healthcare organization
POWER POINT
15 Slides
You have been asked to present your proposed health care facility to the board of directors. Based on your previous assignments, you are to put together a PowerPoint presentation of 15 slides with 300–400 words of speaker notes per slide that includes the following:
The type of health care facility (Week 1)
Discuss the type of facility that you are recommending and the rationale behind your recommendation.
Discuss the type of health care delivery that is provided at the facility.
Financing the organization (Week 2)
Discuss the method(s) of reimbursement that you believe will work best for the health care facility that you have proposed to be developed, and explain why you chose that method.
Discuss the pros and cons of the reimbursement method(s) you chose.
Discuss the impact that the method(s) may have on the financial operations of the facility that you chose.
Medical technology (Week 3)
Discuss the financial and health benefits that can be realized by implementing an electronic health record (EHR).
Discuss the estimated cost of implementing an EHR and the estimated cost of managing an EHR over the long run.
Discuss current security concerns surrounding health information technology (HIT) and the EHR.
Ethical and legal considerations (Week 4)
Discuss an accrediting body that will provide accreditation to the facility you are proposing.
Discuss the ethical or legal requirements and responsibilities that a health care organization has in ensuring that its facility is licensed, certified, and accredited. When discussing licensure requirements, ensure that you research requirements based on the state in which you reside.
Quality measures (Week 5) (This will be a new section as part of your project)
Research and describe at least 3 measures that you plan to use in your facility that are currently used to gauge quality in health care.
Set realistic benchmarks for each proposed measurement, and explain the rationale behind the benchmarks that you set.
Note: You should include a minimum of 3 references with the new content for Week 5.

Determine a key process in the delivery of health care services that would be more efficient and effective through the application of a specific model of HIT.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE FUNCTIONALITY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE COMPLAINT-PUSH MODEL AND DATA-PULL MODEL WITHIN THE PROCESS OF HEALTH CARE SERVICE DELIVERY.

Discussion 1- Compare and contrast the functionality and efficiency of the complaint-push model and data-pull model within the process of health care service delivery. Recommend a strategy improving the effectiveness of each method for delivering patient care. Determine a significant aspect of a complex health care system that represents barriers to a more rapid diffusion of HIT. Next, suggest how these barriers can be removed or minimized. Support your rationale.
Discussion 2- Determine a key process in the delivery of health care services that would be more efficient and effective through the application of a specific model of HIT. Support your response. Analyze the barriers to the implementation of HIMS in a complex adaptive system (CAS). Propose a strategy to help reduce the level of resistance from the clinical staff during a transition from CAS to HIMS innovations. Provide a rationale to support your response.
