Order Description
To prepare:

Investigate a health information technology system or health information technology application in your area of interest. The health information technology
system/application may be in any setting where health care information is developed or managed. You may choose your system or application from any organization or

Electronic medical record (EMR) systems in hospitals or provider offices
Home health care applications
School health applications
Patient portal/personal health record
Public health information systems
Telehealth (i.e., from facility to home)
Simulation laboratories
Health care informatics research and development centers
Discuss your proposed health information technology system/application with your Instructor before proceeding with your final selection. You may visit a health care
organization in person or virtually in order to make your final choice about the health information technology system or health information technology application of
interest.
Choose the best strategy to gain information about your selected information technology system/application. Some ways to gather information include virtual visits;
vendor demonstrations; on-site visits; interviews via face-to-face, phone, or teleconference. You must conduct at least one interview for this project.
Complete a literature search to gather information about your selected information technology system. You may also need to review related scholarly articles to help
answer the questions presented below.
