NURS 656 Week 1 Assignment: Health Informatics Technology HIT Paper
NURS 656 Week 1 Assignment: Health Informatics Technology HIT Paper
The purpose of this assignment is to explore and present a summary of the literature on a selected successful health informatics technology (HIT) project that focuses on its application, trend, or issue influencing consumer, clinical, and public health informatics.
Instructions
Perform an online literature search using the university library and/or Google Scholar to identify three or more scientific articles addressing a health informatics technology project that has been successfully completed/implemented.
Write a problem statement related to this healthcare informatics technology project.
In a three- to four-page paper, summarize the project/problem while integrating the evidence-based practices surrounding it.
Provide a list of references in current APA style.
When choosing your HIT project/problem to focus on this week, remember that you will use this same project/problem throughout the course for each upcoming weekly assignment. You will basically be hypothetically taking this project through all phases of a project charter as if you were acting as the project manager for its implementation at a facility. Make sure that you not only choose an HIT project that is meaningful and interesting to you, but one that you know has been successfully implemented already and has a substantial amount of research/data associated with it.
NURS 656 Week 2 Assignment: HIT Gap Analysis Presentation
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze an issue or topic addressed through a critical gap analysis and further literature review within health informatics technology (HIT) .
Instructions
Looking at the same literature/HIT project that you used last week to generate your HIT paper, define at least one major gap surrounding your informatics topic. Sources for this gap analysis may include the general media, online literature searches using the university library and/or Google Scholar, interviews of health practitioners, and interviews of the general public.
Summarize the gap(s) regarding this topic in an online presentation.
Use Kaltura to create the presentation. It should be between seven and ten narrated slides (including a reference slide) or an approximate equivalent for video.
Review the Getting Started with Kaltura link in your main menu if you need a refresher on using the tool.
Make sure to provide a list of references in current APA style.
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 inclusion of evidenced 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 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 and develop the project schedule, resource requirements, and costs.
Instructions
Create an executive dashboard utilizing your completed A3 with 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.
