Week 8 Signature Assignment: The Complexities of Interoperability Paper and Presentation

Since the start of the Affordable Care Act, many hospital systems have chosen to merge and form strategic partnerships to help reduce cost and expand resources. You will be examining the effect of mergers on informatics, EHR’s, and interoperability.

Complete the three-system merger interactive scenario to get started.

Remember this important background information from the scenario: Three healthcare systems have decided to merge.

System A consists of one large acute care hospital with 450 beds. Services range from outpatient surgery to inpatient services for cardiology, obstetrics, pediatrics, and chemical dependency. They have medical surgical floors, an extensive ER, and several intensive care units. They have a range of radiology and laboratory services.

System B consists of two acute care hospitals: one in the same city as System A’s acute care hospital and one in the same city as System C’s hospital. Both hospitals have approximately 150 beds. In addition to the acute care hospitals, the system also has a rehabilitation center, a cancer treatment center, 3 nursing homes, and 5 primary care offices.

System C has a 125-bed acute care facility in the same city as one of System B’s acute care hospitals. They also have approximately 10 primary care offices.
