Write a paper comparing and contrasting the collection of secondary data and their uses versus the analysis of current health care records and internal data such as incident reports and patient surveys.

You work at a small community-based hospital as a manager in the quality assurance department. One function of your job is to analyze internal data such as medical records, patient surveys, and incident reports to track trends and help improve patient care delivery. The supervisor just came back from a seminar on quality benchmarking and has asked about the possibility of analyzing secondary data from the health care industry as a way to benchmark and measure the organization’s quality performance against its peers. Prepare a report on the use of both secondary data and internal data as way to improve quality in your organization. Complete the following:
? Write a paper comparing and contrasting the collection of secondary data and their uses versus the analysis of current health care records and internal data such as incident reports and patient surveys.
? Explain how health care organizations use secondary data as a comparison to internal data.
? Assess the validity and reliability of primary and secondary data in conducting health care research.
? Compose an operational plan to roll data or application’s functionality to another platform or application.

Case Analysis Issues and Considerations MHI504:perform an Internet search and look for web sites and resources that provide information related to legal, ethical and security issues and considerations surrounding health information systems.

Analysis Issues and Considerations

Case Assignment

Analyst must keep their finger on the pulse of current issues, trends and considerations surrounding both information technology systems and the specific industries that use them. The Internet provides a wealth of resources containing valuable and relevant information and knowledge that help analysts to be well informed.

For this assignment, you will perform an Internet search and look for web sites and resources that provide information related to legal, ethical and security issues and considerations surrounding health information systems. You are asked to narrow your review to five sources from the search results that are not advertising.

Hints: Best results will be obtained by using the Google search engine and the Advanced Search features to search for items that include combinations of words such as “legal,” “ethical,” “auditing,” “control,” “security, “heath information,” “analysis,” or “HIPAA” and exclude the words “course” and “book.” Also be sure to examine the links offered by professional organizations.

Write a scholarly report on the results of your Internet research that addresses the following items:

Explain how you performed your search (what search criteria and/or rules you used).

Describe in detail each of the five sites that you reviewed (include the URLs) and explain why you selected the site, list key points and information you found, and describe what you learned from information presented on the site. In your paper, clearly organize your discussion surrounding each site according to the respective URL.

Summarize your overall findings and what you collectively learned from your search effort and selected web sites. Be sure to include what you found to be important key concepts, points and information along with any contrasting views that you may have found.

From your examination, provide any conclusions that you may have drawn and or recommendations you can make from your investigation and review of the web sites.

Assignment Expectations

Use information from the modular background materials and case assignment narrative as well as any quality resources you can find via the online libraries or Internet.

LENGTH: 3-4 pages typed and double spaced using 12pt Times New Roman font and 1 inch page margins.

The following items will be assessed in particular:

Presentation of key requirements surrounding HIPAA and its significance in analysis of health care related information systems.

Explanation of the significance of auditing, control and security along with key dimensions and issues relevant to systems analysis.

Use and application of literature, expert opinion and case examples from your research to support your position, key points and explanations. Follow APA format for your paper including in-text citations and references.

A Comparison of Key Models in Health Informatics

As part of this course, you will be developing an evaluation plan based on an appropriate model. For this Assignment, you will examine in depth the four models introduced in this week’s Learning Resources (Technology Acceptance, Model Diffusion of Innovations, Disruptive Innovation, Sociotechnical Theory Models). By increasing your familiarity with these key models, you will more easily recognize which would be most appropriate for the evaluation you decide to perform.
To prepare:
Review the four research models covered in this week?s Learning Resources.
Consider the key points of each and when they would be the most appropriate choice for an evaluation.
To complete this Assignment:
By Thursday 12/22/2016 by 5pm,
1) Create graphic representations of the four models, including descriptions of each overall model, key components, who was involved in their development, key ways they have been used, and potential uses in health informatics.
2) These representations will be for your use in your upcoming course project, so the greater the detail, the more useful these representations will be to you.
3) Potential formats could include but are not limited to tables, mind maps, Venn diagrams, or concept maps.
P.S. include an introduction and a summary. The introduction must end with a purpose statement (e.g. ?The purpose of this paper is to ?? ) in APA format.

Knowledge and Information Management

Are there areas in your practice that you believe should be more fully explored? The central aims of nursing informatics are to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. This continuum represents the overarching structure of nursing informatics. In this Assignment, you develop a research question relevant to your practice area and relate how you would work through the progression from data to information, knowledge, and wisdom.
To prepare:
Review the information in Figure 6?2 in Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge.
Develop a clinical question related to your area of practice that you would like to explore.
Consider what you currently know about this topic. What additional information would you need to answer the question?
Using the continuum of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, determine how you would go about researching your question.
Explore the available databases in the Walden Library. Identify which of these databases you would use to find the information or data you need.
Once you have identified useful databases, how would you go about finding the most relevant articles and information?
Consider how you would extract the relevant information from the articles.
How would you take the information and organize it in a way that was useful? How could you take the step from simply having useful knowledge to gaining wisdom?

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:
Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Identify the databases and search words you would use.
Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.
Can informatics be used to gain wisdom? Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.
Your paper must also include a title page, an introduction, a summary, and a reference page. APA FORMAT
