NURS 656 Week 3 Assignment: Table and Summary of HIT Gaps

This assignment builds on assignments 1 and 2. The purpose is to synthesize critical gap analysis by proposing creative solutions for the health informatics/information technology issue.

Instructions

Based on the literature review and major gap(s) identified in your HIT project for the first two assignments, propose a creative solution(s) that would resolve the gap(s) and ensure the inclusion of evidence-based practices in the solution.
Sources for a proposed solution(s) may include the general media, online literature searches using the university library and/or Google Scholar, interviews of health practitioners, developers, computer scientists, technology experts, and the general public.
Summarize the solution(s) regarding this topic in a table.

The information integrated from the literature will be presented via a tabular column similar to the one shown. Distinct columns will name the discovered gaps, state the evidence-based practice from the literature, and possible solutions based on this information.

You will also write a two-paragraph summary below the table stating important takeaways based on the table for your informatics project.
Provide a list of references in the current APA style.

NURS 656 Week 5 Work Breakdown Schedule WBS Executive Dashboard

A WBS in project management builds on the A3 tool and is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of your project into smaller components. Specifically, it supports your key project deliverable that organizes your project scope and your team’s work to focus on and develop the project schedule, resource requirements, and costs.

Instructions

Create an executive dashboard utilizing your completed A3 with the development of a work breakdown structure (WBS).
Based on the A3 tool completed in week 4, develop a WBS using PowerPoint.
Your WBS should reflect how you, the project manager, plan to manage the project.
Emphasis must be on meeting project objectives
The larger or more complex the project, the more levels in the WBS
If work is needed that requires effort or funding, it should be included in the WBS
It should reflect the total effort and scope of your project

Refer to your text: Martinelli and Milosevic, Project Management Toolbox, Chapter 5, Scope Planning, and reference the required resources this week for guidance to build your WBS.

You should submit three separate documents for this week: Executive Dashboard, Work Breakdown Schedule, and PowerPoint Summary of WBS.

Week 6 Assignment: Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Customers (SIPOC) Mitigation Plan

In your informatics process improvement project, the SIPOC tool will summarize the inputs and outputs of one or more processes in table form. Specifically, the SIPOC identifies project risks and creates a mitigation plan for your identified informatics project.

Instructions

Create a Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Customers (SIPOC) Mitigation Plan. The acronym SIPOC forms the columns of the table.
Incorporate three Learning Health Systems (LHS) core values into the Process, Outputs, and Customer columns.

The LHS core values are described in your week 6 required resources.

NURS 656 Week 7 Assignment: Gantt Chart

The Gantt chart is a scheduling tool that uses bars to represent project activities and to show when the project, and each activity within the project, start and ends against a horizontal time scale. Having a Gantt chart ensures that your project participants have the necessary time allocated on their calendars and are available to perform their activities.

Instructions

Based on your informatics problem statement identified in week 1:

Create a Gantt chart for your project plan using a template created in Excel. Include specific and appropriate performance outcome measures in your Gantt chart. Reference Chapter 6 in Martinelli and the required resources located this week for guidance.
Separately summarize how the selected performance measure will assure proper measurement, data collection, monitoring, and analysis in your project.

Create a PowerPoint presentation using four slides.

Slide 1: Introduction slide of the healthcare informatics project

Slide 2: Copy your Gantt chart (created in Excel) to a PowerPoint slide

Slide 3: Bulleted summary supporting your selection of Performance Measurements included in the Gantt chart

Slide 4: References

You will submit three documents this week: Executive Dashboard, Work Breakdown Schedule, and PowerPoint Summary of WBS, including the Gantt Chart.

NURS 656 Week 8 Assignment: HIT Executive Summary and Video Presentation

The purpose of the executive summary is perhaps the most important section of your healthcare informatics project. It is usually the first section of a business plan that leadership will read, but it should be written last. A successful executive summary presents the highlights of your project and is an opportunity to support clinical and administrative safe processes.

Instructions

Create an Executive Summary and Presentation of your HIT project. You will integrate and summarize the work that you have accomplished over the last seven weeks and present it via an executive summary and a Kaltura video.

Executive summary

Your written executive summary will be a maximum of three to four pages and will be completed in the current APA format following the instructions outlined below.

Your executive summary must be consistent with the full business plan to secure facility leadership support for this informatics project.

You should include your:

Healthcare mission and vision statements
A brief sketch of your plans and goals
A quick look at your company and its organization
An outline of your strategy
Highlights of your gathered information from all weeks of the course
The key to the executive summary is to pick out the best aspects of every part of your plan. Extract the essence of each key part and present a highlight reel of your business.
What is the informatics problem, and how does it fit into your healthcare organization?

You must explain why your idea has merit and how it can solve a common problem by making things easier, faster, or cheaper for your healthcare organization. Include your problem statement in week 1 and integrate and summarize the gap analysis and solution in weeks 2 and 3 for this section.

Include best practices applied from the literature. Demonstrate that there is a problem and why it needs to be addressed in reference to patient safety.

What did your information collection with the A3 PM, WBS, and SIPOC tools reveal?

Include an image of one of the more relevant tools as an image in this section. Summarize the effects of these tools on the informatics project and include a focus on the user and current usability issues that are now present in health information technology.

How much will it cost, and how much financing are you seeking?

Decide if this is an internal solution (using IT in the healthcare organization) or an external solution (buying software from a vendor). Provide a short explanation of how you will use any financing you seek.

What are the immediate and future recommendations?

The summary is the place to put your best foot forward to speak about immediate recommendations to leadership. Paint a realistic and factual portrait of a compelling opportunity for the healthcare organization and outline its inherent risks.

Presentation

Create a Kaltura video introducing your informatics project to facility leadership following the outline from the executive summary above.
Your Kaltura video presentation should be a maximum of four to five minutes long, not to exceed 5 minutes.
Review the Getting Started with Kaltura link in your main menu if you need a refresher on using the tool.
