Documents in Class Announcements: Your instructor has uploaded a PowerPoint presentation which is a great guide containing tips and tricks as to how to put together an excellent PowerPoint slide presentation. For those of you who choose the PowerPoint presentation option for the final project you will find this guide to be useful.
Discussions: In your discussions this week we are examining some of them are advancing concepts of informatics such as the use of simulation programs and simulation technologies in healthcare. Additionally, we are exploring the global initiative is happening with regards to eHealth and the advancements of electronic medical record systems in both developed and underdeveloped countries.
Chapter 36 Case Study: Trends in Informatics
Formulate a paper addressing trends in health informatics using the address the following prompts:
- Discuss the benefits and challenges of simulation technology as a technology trend.
- Given future directional trends in informatics discussed in Chapter 36 of your text such as nanotechnology, predictive analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), select a trend that you view to be most important to our society today. Provide a rationale for your choice.
- Analyze the Health Information Technology Governance Activities and Processes summery discussed in Chapter 29 of your text (Box 29.1). Reflecting on your Ashford University major of study, discuss how an organizational leader in health care and/or health and human services would use these activities to prioritize informatics projects related to implementing an informatics trend discussed in Chapter 36.
Your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages and formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources to support your position.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
Final Project:
Hint: As discussed in Week 3, this is not a project you can tackle on Day 7 at 11:00 PM. If you have not begun your final project as of the beginning of Week 5 you must to do so immediately to do the appropriate level of research on your topic. Please do not wait until the end of Week 5 to begin this final project. The research phase alone will take you several hours prior to putting together your video or PowerPoint presentation. I strongly suggest you review the project early in the week; you have time to ask any questions. I check the course and the email once a day.
Some students have a difficult time with the audiovisual component of the assignment. You can do the audiovisual presentation or as an alternative you can submit a PowerPoint with speaker notes. This is still a five-minute presentation so put your effort into the final project-it is worth 20% of the final grade.
