Assignment 2: System Analysis

profiledabmnash

 

In this course, you will progressively work on a system implementation process in six stages:

  • Week 1: System planning
  • Week 2: System analysis
  • Week 3: System selection
  • Week 4: System implementation
  • Week 5: User training and system maintenance

You can use Internet resources, peer-reviewed journals, and reputable, published articles, and you may interview an executive of a healthcare facility that has implemented an electronic medical record system/electronic health record system or similar system to describe the six implementation steps.

This week, you will conduct system analysis. System analysis is a process of collecting, organizing, and evaluating data about the information systems and the environment in which the system operates. For this section, you need to answer the following questions:

  • What is the current system for your fictional healthcare organization?
  • What problems do you have with the current system? Where do its weaknesses lie?
  • What changes will the implementation of a new system yield, and how will they impact the working of the organization?
  • Would you like to extend the existing system or replace it?
  • What is your phase-out plan for the existing system?

Complete the assignment in a 3–5-page Word document

Cite any sources in the APA format.

 

 

 

Assignment 2

This week, you will conduct system analysis. System analysis is a process of collecting, organizing, and evaluating data about the information systems and the environment in which the system operates. For this section, you need to answer the following questions:

  • What is the current system for your fictional healthcare organization? Do they have a paper record or an electronic  record.? Remember my hint from Week 1.
  • What problems do you have with the current system? Where do its weaknesses lie?
  • What changes will the implementation of a new system yield, and how will they impact the working of the organization? Think of it as why are you changing? I suggest you use the South Library access to AHIMA’s The Journal., for inspiration.
  • Would you like to extend the existing system or replace it? Do you want the set-up you have or convert to the system you are proposing? Why?
  • What is your phase-out plan for the existing system?

Hints:

Students sometimes struggle with this assignment for one of three reasons:

1)      No healthcare experience

a.       You may not work in healthcare, but do you access healthcare? Think about what you encounter and base your fictitious place information after that

2)      The textbook does not seem to relate to the assignment.

a.       Correct, the textbook does not directly relate to how you will answer the assignment. So how can you find information? Using your favorite browser (Chrome, Google, Firefox, etc.,) look up healthcare software systems and a list of software vendors will pop up and each one will tell you about problems they have solutions to relative to this assignment. To further help you, think about what you like and dislike when you go for medical care? What frustrates you? What do you like?

3) What is a phase out plan?

            Think of it as a roadmap. If you were going to take a vacation, you would probably want to know:

·         Where are you going?

·         When are you going?

·         When are you coming back home?

·         How are you getting there?

·         Will you have to travel more than one day?

·         Where will you stay?

·         What arrangement will you make to take care of your home/pets/children, etc.?

·         How will you let everyone else traveling with you about your plans?

            Does that help? Let me know in Ask your Professor if you are stuck. Remember, you have the option of sending me a draft by Friday morning, if you want some feedback before you submit the final assignment.
