Question 1

1. The Health Information Technology (HIT) standards are developed both by national and international organizations for local and global implementation. In the US, the national organization is NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) and the international organization is ISO (International Standards Organization).

Compare and contrast the functions of these two organizations and their healthcare IT standards. Analyze their standard development processes. Which type of healthcare organizations should implement their standards and why? Assess the value of the standards on the international market as well as implications for not adopting the HIT standards globally?

2. Health Information Technology increases both efficacy and quality of healthcare and aids in operational and strategic planning. Although it incurs initial implementation investment and then periodic recurring maintenance and updating costs, it does not generate direct revenue, but the healthcare managers need to justify these costs to the executive management.

Select two (2) methods or techniques that you would use to determine and justify the value of HIT. Evaluate both in terms of their pros and cons. Which of these two methods would you recommend to use for presentation to the management and why? Analyze how these two methods of HIT value determination differ from the traditional IT value determination for business and healthcare?

The format of this part should be 5 pages (not including title page and references) with Introduction & Conclusion. All supportive evidence need to be formatted in APA 7.

Question 2
Watch the video on SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) steps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmrGZSGK1k).

This portion of the assignment should be in tabular format: (students select their chosen format)

Analyze the SDLC process explained in the video. Evaluate its application to the development of Healthcare Management Information Systems (HMIS)/Healthcare Information Systems (HIS)?

Explain which of the step(s) can be omitted if an organization does not maintain internal IT staff (Hint: Feasibility Study slide).

How would this step of the SDLC process be completed without affecting the integrity of the HMIS/HIS?
Justify the cyclic nature of the SDLC process.

The format of this part should be tabular with Introduction & Conclusion paragraph. All supportive evidence need to be formatted in APA 7.

Question 3: PowerPoint

Considering all you researched so far, develop a guide for a local healthcare facility for implementation of a Healthcare Management Information System (HMIS). It should cover differentiation among three terms - project management, program management, and portfolio management.

Define and analyze the five project management processes in terms of applicability to HMIS implementation needs.

Locate and evaluate at least two project management tools and compare their metrics for monitoring the project progress.

Explain how would you keep Scope Creep at a minimum during the project implementation?

The PowerPoint visual aid must have notes. (Apply PowerPoint presenter notes.
