HIM 615 Full Course Discussions Questions Grand Canyon
HIM 615 Topic 1 DQ 1
What comprises components of an information
system? What does “accessibility” mean in the context of IT systems and how
does it apply to health care settings? Research and provide input on what you
believe is the next “cutting-edge technology” that will impact health care and
how would you incorporate it for use.

View “Health Information Exchange” Discuss
how this resource can assist you in successfully completing the assignments for
this course.
HIM 615 Topic 2 DQ 1
Before you conduct an interview focused on
EHRs and software solutions (as assigned in Module 6), it is advisable to
really think about what it is that you are trying to learn and to make sure
that you have developed professional and appropriate questions that will get
you those answers. It is also very important that you understand that the
professionals with whom you are requesting an interview are probably very busy
and have important job responsibilities. Please respect the time that this
person is willing to give you by keeping your questions as clear and concise as
possible and limiting the number of them to the least possible needed. If you
have taken the least amount of this person’s time needed and he/she is
available and open to spending some additional time with you on a less critical
conversation about his/her job, that is fine. To this point, what are the
questions that you think you should be posing to get to the answers this
assignment asks for?
HIM 615 Topic 2 DQ 2
The health care field is lagging behind in IT
adoption compared to other industries. Where are the largest gaps? What are the
reasons for this lag? How can those in health care IT/informatics close the
gap?
HIM 615 Topic 3 DQ 1
Why are there so many different EMR systems?
What are the opportunities and barriers to interoperability?
HIM 615 Topic 3 DQ 2

evaluating information system integration approaches?
HIM 615 Topic 5 DQ 1
In Topic 7, students will need to submit the

effective to meet your needs? What type of research and analysis will be
required for your RFP? Discuss any challenges you are facing with this
assignment.
HIM 615 Topic 5 DQ 2
What is meant by “alert fatigue”? How serious
of a problem do you think this is? How can it be mitigated?
HIM 615 Topic 6 DQ 1
Describe physical security, technical
security, and data redundancy. Which is more important? Are the laws and
regulations associated with privacy and security of health care data reasonable?
If so, why? If not, why?
HIM 615 Topic 6 DQ 2
Explore the Health Information Privacy page
on the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website as assigned in
the Topic 6 Readings, respond to the following prompt: What is considered
“identifiable patient information?” The HIPAA privacy and security rules
specify requirements for hospitals, clinics, and private practices under
“Administrative Requirements.” Do you think these entities are mostly in
compliance with the rules? Provide reasons why an entity might not be.
HIM 615 Topic 7 DQ 1
What is the role of an HIT manager? Describe
the benefits/challenges of having resources that are clinical working with
those that are technical? What is an ideal makeup of a health IT strategy
planning team in terms of which parts of the health organization should be
represented? Why?
HIM 615 Topic 7 DQ 2
What are the benefits/disadvantages in
employing a bottom-up versus a top-down management approach to deploy a health
care information system? Identify risks in implementation, deployment, and
maintenance of a HIT system. How can you minimize these risks?
HIM 615 Topic 8 DQ 1
What is evidence-based medicine (EBM)? Are
best practices adopted widely and uniformly? If so, describe where you have
seen it. If not, why? How does HIT fit into the life cycle of evidence-based
medicine? How does HIT facilitate evidence-based medicine.
HIM 615 Topic 8 DQ 2
Read the case study by clicking on the
“Process” tab in the “Hospital Route” tab in the “Health Information Exchange”.
Where are the potential pitfalls in this scenario? Where might there be a
breakdown of communication, and how could this be prevented?

Topic 5 Report to the COO
Details:
Health Level Seven International (HL7) is a
not-for-profit, standards-developing organization dedicated to providing a
comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration,
sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information that supports clinical
practice and the management, delivery, and evaluation of health services.
After reading “Strategic Initiatives” (see
Module 4 assigned readings), refer to the journals listed:
Search the GCU Library and the websites of
professional health care informatics organizations, such as the American Health
Information Management Association (AHIMA), American Medical Informatics
Association (AMIA), and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society (HIMSS). Useful periodicals include:
- Health Data Management
- Health Management Technology
- Healthcare Informatics
- Healthcare IT News
Locate a case study that discusses how a
health care organization solved a communication problem with a hardware
solution while maintaining existing software.
Prepare a professional report (1,250-1,500
words) as if you are the informatics director of a 300-bed facility and the
chief operating officer (COO) has given you the following directives:
- Improve communication and coordination between admitting,
laboratory, pharmacy, and clinicians to increase throughput; assume that
each department has its own system currently in place.
- Propose a solution that maintains existing software
in each department and is supported by the HL7 initiatives.
In addition, define your focus and select a
hardware solution; it may consist of a phased approach or an approach that
directs attention only to one of the groups, or it may involve all of the
aforementioned departments.
Provide a solution; emphasize
interoperability.
Discuss how HL7 will improve communication
and coordination between the departments.
Address the challenges of incorporating
interoperability mandates from the Office of the National Coordinator.
Consider the challenges of an environment
that is best of breed and the desire to move to a standard EHR across a health
care enterprise.
Your solution may not implement new EHR
software, but must provide a hardware solution to increase throughput.
Be creative with the context and formatting.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA
guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
