Overview

Assemble a 3-5 page tool kit for the implementation of bioinformatics in an organization or practice setting. Then, provide a one-page executive summary describing a specific instance of how bioinformatics might be implemented under the tool kit policies and guidelines.

Introduction

This homework focuses on how leaders create structure, guidance, and clarity when faced with adversity and choice for health care delivery. Best practices are important for helping organizations to assess, monitor, and use bioinformatics to enhance outcomes for patient care. Bioinformatics best practices are disseminated through the use of policy, guidelines, and practical recommendations. Using these tools leads to organized, collaborative, and accountable decision making.

Tool Kit

Use the professional literature, the Internet, and any other resources you locate, to assemble a tool kit for implementing bioinformatics in an organization. Your tool kit should include:

I. An evidence-based policy that explains what is to be done and why.

II. Guidelines detailing how to apply the policy in practice.

III. Practical recommendations to assist in implementing the use of bioinformatics.

1. How to how educate stakeholders on this new practice.

2. When to monitor data to evaluate outcomes on the use of the policy.

IV. An in-depth look at a specific example of bioinformatics, demonstrating how the policy, guidelines and recommendations will result in quality outcomes with care delivery.

1. Include data in the form of actual data tables to demonstrate the responsible and accountable use of data in practice.

Support your policy, guidelines, and recommendations with references that speak to the legal and ethical ramifications of data use in bioinformatics and the implications for responsible and accountable use of data in practice.

Executive Summary

Using a specific example, write a one-page executive summary for administration to explain how the policy, guidelines, and recommendations will govern the use of bioinformatics in the organization or practice setting.
