Assessment 3 ( Speaker notes needed for the speach) Health Information Improvement Implementation ProposalInstructions: Write a 4-6 page proposal, and create a 1-2 minute maximum elevator pitch recording, advocating for the improvement of a health information system. This assessment will build on your first two assessments and should be completed third.IntroductionIn this assessment, you will explore the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in health information technology, as well as key technologies and future trends in the field. You will also develop a strategic proposal for the improvement of a health information system.Key concepts:
- The importance of accessibility, cultural competency, health disparities, and patient-centered care in healthcare.
- Key technologies such as interoperability, data security, and privacy, the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and the ethical considerations in health informatics.
- Future trends such as the growth of virtual health platforms and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
- How to develop a strategic proposal that addresses the existing issues with a health information system, proposes improvements, identifies the expected benefits, and outlines the methods for measuring these benefits.
- How to create an elevator pitch that summarizes the benefits of your suggestions for enhancing the HIM system and how it will impact healthcare operations and patient outcomes.
The assessment will require you to write a 4-6 page information improvement implementation proposal and create a 1-2 minute elevator pitch recording. This will help you develop the skills and knowledge necessary to be a successful healthcare leader in the era of health information technology.Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are required to complete them in sequence.
Overview
In this assessment, you will emerge models or best practices to propose the implementation of a health information system that enhances healthcare operations and improves patient outcomes.
Preparation
In the assessment, you will write a 4–6 page proposal and create a 1–2 minute maximum elevator pitch recording that proposes the improvement of a health information system. You can choose to focus on the health information system in your current workplace or the Vila Health simulated healthcare organization (Vila Health: Health Information System Improvement). If you choose your current workplace, ensure that you have access to sufficient information about the system to fulfill the requirements of the assessment.The written proposal should include a comprehensive plan that addresses the existing issues with the system, proposes improvements, identifies the expected benefits, and outlines the methods for measuring these benefits. In addition, it should share a financial evaluation and at least three recommendations based on your evaluation.Next, your task is to craft a concise (elevator)pitch recording, lasting no longer than 1–2 minutes. In this pitch, give a brief summary of why your suggestions for enhancing the HIM system will have a positive impact on healthcare operations and patient outcomes. The goal is to immediately capture the interest of your CEO or board, compelling them to want to hear more.
Instructions:
Using the provided Health Information Improvement Implementation Proposal [DOCX]template, complete the following:
- Select a Health Information System:
- Choose a health information system in your current workplace or the Vila Health simulated healthcare organization (using the Vila Health: Health Information System Improvement media piece) to propose improvements. If you choose your current workplace, ensure that you have access to sufficient information about the current system's functionalities, challenges, and impact on healthcare operations.
- Description of Current Issues:
- Begin the proposal by describing the existing issues and challenges with the selected health information system. Analyze the specific areas where the system underperforms or hinders efficient healthcare processes.
- Proposed Improvements:
- Outline your proposed improvements to the health information system. Describe how these changes will address the identified issues and contribute to enhanced healthcare operations.
- Expected Benefits:
- Clearly state the expected benefits of the proposed improvements. Consider both short-term and long-term advantages, such as increased efficiency, improved patient care, and enhanced data accuracy.
- Measurement of Benefits:
- Discuss the methods and metrics you will use to measure the success of the implemented improvements. Explain how you will track and evaluate the impact of the changes on healthcare outcomes.
- Financial Evaluation:
- Assess the financial implications, potential return on investment, and long-term benefits. Provide a financial evaluation and at least three recommendations based on your evaluation.
- Implementation Plan:
- Provide a detailed implementation plan for the proposed improvements. Include the timeline, key milestones, and responsibilities of various stakeholders involved in the implementation process.
- Create Recording:
- You are required to produce an (elevator) pitch recording lasting 1–2 minutes at most. Feel free to use Kaltura or other approved Capella formats for this recording. See Using Kaltura for help with this tool. The pitch's purpose is to offer a concise preview of how your proposed enhancements to the HIM system will elevate healthcare operations and lead to better patient outcomes. The aim is to instantly captivate the CEO or board's interest, making them eager to hear additional details. The ultimate goal is to generate immediate approval and support. Before you begin recording, you may find it beneficial to write a script or detailed outline that you can refer to as you record.
