Demonstrate the ability to use both standard and electronic means of finding information of various sources
Demonstrate the ability to adapt information to a pre-set format (or standard)
Demonstrate the ability to evaluate, select and distill information into a thoughtful report
This is a Three (3) part assignment
Exercise 1: PROPOSAL (30 point)
Exercise 2: LIBRARY INFORMATION RETRIEVAL (50 points)
Exercise 3: RESEARCH PAPER (100 points)
Successful completion of these exercises demands that you demonstrate the ability to use both standard and electronic means of finding information and develop the skills needed to evaluate, select and distill the information into a thoughtful report. NVCC libraries provide staff who are prepared to demonstrate the use of the library resources and help you interpret the different types of resources requested. However, if you have access to other libraries with significant holdings of scientific material and information retrieval technology, these libraries may be used to complete this exercise.
You will receive separate grades for each of the three exercises in scientific literature. *NOTE: Research Papers will only be graded upon successful completion of a research proposal
Exercise 1. RESEARCH PROPOSAL (30 Points)
Before any research can be started, principal investigators (PIs) must often go through several steps of approval. In the real world this can be a single step of doing a proposal or can be multiple steps where smaller to larger requests of information are conducted prior to the start of research. A standard practice is for a PI to submit a white paper which is usually around 10 pages, which is evaluated prior to being requested to submit a full proposal (40+ pages).
For our purposes here, we will do a 250 word abstract which will introduce the topic you are going to do research on. You do not have to have done much more than a cursory research to put this together. You should include an overview of the topic you are investigating, why the topic is or should be of interest to anyone. Discussing why you picked the topic, what is the interesting science, the so what factor, are good ways to complete this assignment.
The impetus for this is two fold, first to familiarize you with what is often a multi-step approval process prior to receiving any grants or approvals to conduct research. The second is, over the past few years I have gotten more than a few research papers that were not science based and I would like to avoid this in the future. It is often a problem that as we begin to study science, the line of where science and pseudoscience is, can be hard to tell. I would like to give you a chance to ensure that your research paper is going to be in line with grading expectations prior to spending time writing.

The material in this document was developed by Regional Extension Center staff in the performance of technical support and EHR implementation. The information in this document is not intended to serve as legal advice nor should it substitute for legal counsel. Users are encouraged to seek additional detailed technical guidance to supplement the information contained within. The REC staff developed these materials based on the technology and law that were in place at the time this document was developed. Therefore, advances in technology and/or changes to the law subsequent to that date may not have been incorporated into this material. National Learning Consortium
The National Learning Consortium (NLC) is a virtual and evolving body of knowledge and tools designed to support healthcare providers and health IT professionalsworking towards the implementation, adoption and meaningful use of certified EHR systems.
The NLC represents the collective EHR implementation experiences and knowledge gained directly from the field of ONC’s outreach programs (REC, Beacon, State HIE) and through the Health Information Technology Research Center (HITRC) Communities of Practice (CoPs).
The following resource is an example of a tool used in the field today that is recommended by “boots-on-the-ground” professionals for use by others who have made the commitment to implement or upgrade to certified EHR systems. Description
These guidelines are intended to aid providers and health IT implementers in planning for EHR implementation through the definition of goals and objectives. This resource can help define goals for quality improvement and help identify which features of the EHR are critical to the established goals. If you can define your goals, you can define your needs. If you can define your needs, then you can select an EHR system that will meet your needs.
Establishing realistic, measureable goals and objectives for EHR implementation is critical to determine whether or not an implementation was successful. These guidelines include examples that can be used to assist with goal and objective development. They also outline several dimensions upon which a practice can establish goals and objectives. The last section provides a template to document specific goals and objectives. Instructions
Review the guidelines to identify goals and objectives for EHR implementation. Use the template provided in section 7 to document specific goals and objectives. Use the template in section 8 to document benchmarks and track progress at 6 and 12 months post implementation. Table of Contents

“WHY” implement EHRs?
This EHR implementation step should help practice leadership evaluate their current state to determine what is working well and what can be improved. Some of the questions providers ask themselves during this phase include:
“Am I accomplishing what I thought I would be doing when I decided to go to medical school?”
“Are we providing the best possible care to our patients, or are we simply trying to make it through the week?”
“If I had more time, what would I do differently?”
“What would it be like to leave the office yet stay connected to my practice?”
At this stage, practice leadership and staff should consider the practice’s clinical goals, needs, financial and technical readiness as they transition.
Getting Started
Start with a workflow analysis and identify the bottlenecks and inefficiencies that exist today. Decide which bottlenecks and inefficiencies you want to improve and assign them a priority. It doesn’t matter so much where you start — as long as you start somewhere.
In setting priorities, you may want to consider the following:
In what areas is our performance far from ideal?
What improvements do we think our patients will notice most?
Where do we think we can be successful in making change?
What groups of clinicians and staff should we involve in each item, and what is their readiness for change?
Goal Definition
Goals and needs should be documented to help guide decision-making throughout the implementation process. They may need to be re-assessed throughout the EHR implementation steps to ensure a smooth transition for the practice and all staff.
Set goals in areas that are important and meaningful to your practice. These may be clinical goals, revenue goals, or goals related to work environment. Goals in all three areas will help assure balanced processes after the implementation. Goals that are important to you will help you and your staff through the change process. We recommend you follow the “SMART” goals process. This process includes setting objectives and goals that meet the following criteria:
Specific – Achieving the goal would make a difference for our patients and our practice
Measureable – We can quantify the current level and the target goal
Attainable – Although the goal may be a stretch, we can achieve it
Relevant – This is worth the effort
Time bound – There are deadlines and opportunities to celebrate success!
These goals become the guide posts for an EHR implementation project, and achieving these goals will motivate providers and practice staff to make necessary changes and attain new skills.
Have some fun with goal setting. Involve everyone in the office by asking for creative suggestions on ways to eliminate inefficiency.
Action Plan
For each goal, define a plan of action for achieving the goal. What specific steps do you need to take to reach your goal?
Successes should be celebrated along the way. Implementing an EHR is a long process. Keeping the momentum and support of staff is important, so acknowledging success and interim milestones will help to sustain the effort.
Measuring Success
Determine how to measure the success of your action plan. Keep it simple! Don’t get hung up on statistics, sample size and complicating factors. However utilize any baseline data you may have, so you’ll have something to compare your quality improvement efforts to.
If you don’t meet your measurement for success the first time, re-evaluate, and try again. Quality improvement is a never-ending task.

Module 4 – Case ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND THE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE Assignment Overview
The focus of this Case is on e-business. Here are some background materials on e-business that you should review.
Case Assignment
In your teams, use the Internet to plan a trip to a location outside the United States. Have each individual, working independently, use the services of a different online travel site such as orbitz.com, Travelocity.com, kayak.com, Concierge.com, expedia.com, etc. (search “online travel sites” for additional options). Pull together to share the findings of the group.
Find the lowest airfare.
Examine a few hotels by class.
Get suggestions about what to see.
Find out about local currency, and convert $1,500 to that currency with an online currency converter.
Compile travel tips.
The above analysis was done with traditional Web resources. Now after reading the Blockchain material in the Module Reading propose how this approach to travel planning could be changed or re-invented with Blockchain.
Prepare a report comparing how each site performed in terms of its ease of use, helpfulness, and best overall deal. Also provide a comparison with the Blockchain approach the group proposed. Each member of the team posts the results of the analysis and a discussion of the team processes. (If a team member cannot for location reasons work in a team, then that person can do the project on his/her own.)
Assignment Expectations
Produce a 3- to 4-page paper analyzing and comparing online travel sites. Use of Excel and tables is highly recommended along with a description of your analysis. The final report should include the report findings combined in one Word doc. Your paper must be double-spaced and include a cover page
Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing electronic innovation and the government. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it. This is considered a research article review. Your paper should meet these requirements:
Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion
The Electronic Medical Record: Efficient Medical Care or Disaster in the Making?
Dale Buchbinder
You are the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a large health care system. Medicare has mandated that all medical practices seeking Medicare compensation must begin using electronic medical records (EMR) . Medicare has incentivized medical practices to place electronic medical records in their offices by giving financial bonuses to medical practices that achieve certain goals. These EMR systems are supposed to allow communication between practitioners and hospitals, so medical information can be rapidly transferred to provide more efficient medical care. The EMR will enable physicians to allow access to the records of their patients by other providers. Eventually these records are supposed to be easily accessed so any physician or hospital will have complete medical information on a patient.
The physician practices in your health care system have been mandated to use the Unified Medical Record System (UMRS). The UMRS was designed by a central committee; all hospital-owned physician practices have been mandated to use the system. As part of the incentives, Medicare will add dollars back to each practice when they meet goals for reaching meaningful use (MU). MU has been defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (n.d.) as “using certified electronic health record (EHR) technology to:
• Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities
• Engage patients and family
• Improve care coordination, and population and public health
• Maintain privacy and security of patient health information.”
It is a step-by-step system requiring “electronic functions to support the care of a certain percentage of patients” Qha, Burke, DesRoches, Joshi, Kralovec, Campbell, & Buntin, 2011, p. SPl 18).
One of the hospitals in your system has many primary care and specialty practices; however, the UMRS system was designed primarily for the primary care practices. The committee that developed UMRS did not take into account the needs of the specialty practices, which are significantly different from the primary care practices. This issue has been brought to the fore from by several medical specialists who have stated UMRS is not only cumbersome, but also extremely difficult to use. UMRS also does not give the specialist the information he needs. Specialists noted that after UMRS was implemented, it took them approximately 10 to 15 minutes longer to see each patient. Since an average day for a specialist consists of seeing between 20 and 25 patients, adding 10 to 15 minutes per patient adds 200 to 250 additional minutes, or 3 to 4 hours more each day. And, the physician cannot see the same number of patients each day. In reality, this represents a 30% decrease in productivity because of the amount of time it takes to use UMRS. Now the specialist office schedules constantly run significantly later than they should, and patients become unhappy and impatient. Several of the specialists reported that a number of patients have gotten up and left without being seen. In short, the mandate to use UMRS has impacted the efficiency and productivity of the subspecialists and specialists, further decreasing revenues for the system.
In addition, all of the physicians have complained the UMRS does not communicate well with other electronic medical record systems, or even the hospital’s own patient information systems. There is no real integration of the medical databases as intended, levels of meaningful use are unclear, and in some areas, difficult to achieve, again because the UMRS was tailored to primary care practices’ prescribing patterns. Specialists, particularly surgeons, do not write a large number of prescriptions. Surgeons have been mandated to write electronic prescriptions to reach meaningful use; however, in many cases this is not appropriate for surgical patients.
All of these issues and concerns were reported to the central committee that created UMRS in response to federal mandates and financial incentives. The committee responded it cannot modify the system to make it more friendly to specialists and subspecialists, despite the fact that procedures performed by the subspecialists account for substantial revenues. Revenues are down and the morale of the specialists and subspecialists has plummeted to the point that many are talking about taking early retirement or leaving the system. Still, the committee refuses to fix the problems. Since you are the CIO of the entire health care system, the situation is now in your hands. What will you do?
In this case study, you can answer the questions. You DO NOT need to show any external resources. Thank you!
Response Needs to be in an essay format. Introduction , body and conclusion
Discussion Questions
1. What are the facts in this situation?
2. What are three organizational issues this case illustrates?
3. What are the advantages and pitfalls to EMR? Should all types of practices be required to use the same system? What role should physicians play in selecting and developing an EMR system to fix their individual practices? Provide a rationale for your responses.
4. Is there a way to bring consensus and standardize the EMR systems without alienating productive physicians who bring large revenues to the hospital? How can the dilemma of inefficiency and patient dissatisfaction be prevented? Create and present a plan for how EMR could be implemented in a system with multiple types of practices. Be sure to address the issues of physician specialty, productivity, and satisfaction, as well as patient satisfaction.
5. What steps should the CIO take in the future to prevent these types of issues from occurring again? Provide your reflections and personal opinions as well as your recommendations and rationale for your responses.

Answer these essay questions:
Identify a communications difficulty that occurred when you used an electronic channel (Email or SMS) that you believe would not have occurred had you delivered the message in a face-to-face meeting. What was there about the use of the electronic channel that was at the heart of the problem that is not an issue when talking face-to-face? If you have an opportunity to send the same kind of message again by an electronic means, what would you do differently, and why?
Firms are becoming ever more dependent upon electronic communication channels for many reasons, including virtual employees, growth of project complexity, the global marketplace, and the fact that customers can now come from everywhere. Do you believe that high-quality virtual presence (video, audio, shared documents, etc.) is becoming more important? Explain your answer.
It has been argued that bureaucratic control systems are a holdover from a time when businesses, products, technologies, and society itself ran, and changed, at a far slower pace than it does today. Due to the rapid growth of global competition, the acceleration of technological change, and the growing interconnectedness of individuals some believe that bureaucracies should be replaced by more agile and dynamic mechanisms. For example, statistical process control, one of a number of tools and methods W. Edwards Deming successfully advocated after World War II, strived to improve quality and productivity by removing sources of variation. Detractors assert that business in today’s agile world changes too quickly for statistical process control to be useful. Attack or defend the position that the basic ideas of bureaucratic control systems are still relevant in today’s world, and support your argument.
Some argue that the traditional role of managers and bureaucratic control systems are in conflict with the principles and processes of self-management and self-designing teams. It has been suggested that managers need to change to be more like coaches in order for such agile teams to be effective. Attack or defend this idea and support your position.

Computers are now a common presence in almost all aspects of human lives. They have changed the way people, interact, live, and work. One of the industries that have witnessed increased adoption of computing is healthcare in the form of electronic health records (EHRs). The electronic health record is a repository of all the patient medical information stored in an electronic platform in a way that can be stored and exchanged securely across multiple authorized users (Burke & Weill, 2018). The data stored is employed in the documentation of the patient state of health and care provided to them. The use of EHRs in healthcare are associated with numerous advantages.
The major advantages in the use of electronic health records are the reduction of medical errors, improvement of patient outcomes, improvement of clinical outcomes, and increasing the overall efficiency. Hoover (2016) points out that electronic health records (EHRs) have allowed the integration of technological features such as bar code scanning that allows physicians to provide correct medications to patients. This has reduced the chances of the wrong prescription, which has reduced the risks of adverse drug effects by 52%. The effective management of medications has resulted in improved patient outcomes over time. For example, laboratory results can be relayed in real-time, allowing the physicians to make timely decisions and request for further tests if need be. The use of EHRs has also improved legibility that has long been blamed for medication errors. The authors point out that in some cases, 60% of medication errors have been attributed to illegible handwriting. Finally, the EHRs has increased overall healthcare efficiency as it ensures medical examinations and drug prescription are synchronized.
Forms used to Keep Patient Information in EHRs
EHRs system offers a means through which different patient information can be collected and kept in different forms. The forms through which patient information can be stored in EHRs include the consent to treatment, the discharge, and the HIPAA consent forms. The consent to treatment form collects the information for patients that seek medical examination at the doctor’s office or those who are being admitted to the emergency room. The consent form provides the hospital and the doctor with express permission to provide treatment to the patient. The patient has a right to give consent when they accept the treatment or deny one if they refuse the treatment. The discharge forms are employed among those patients who have been in the hospital for more than 48 hours. The HIPAA consent form collects patient information showing their acknowledgment of the receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices.
The Basic Workflow of a Health Care Organization Using EHRs The basic workflow in a health care organization using EHRs typically starts at the hospital’s primary care office. The primary care office typically has two front desk clerks, one nurse, and two primary care physicians (Pugh, 2019). In the primary care section, the process starts at the front desk where the patient’s appointment is………………………………………………………………………………………………
1. Supervisors often resist taking on the role of coach – one of the traditional, non-electronic methods. What can organizations do to encourage supervisors to be effective coaches? 2. Of the traditional, non-electronic methods, is seems classroom-based training programs (lecture/discussion, role play, games, etc.) are used so much more than individualized approaches to training? Do you think this choice is appropriate?
Recruitment and training form one of the core functions in any organization (Noe, 2010). The organization performance depends on an effective recruitment process. However, effective recruitment alone is not enough for an organization to achieve its desired objectives. The new organizational employees must be trained, as this provides them with appropriate workplace skills and allows them to learn about organizational goals and work culture. Therefore, it is imperative that an effective training process follow an effective recruitment program.
