Assignment

The assignment will be based on the case study, Georgia Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center "Helping Eligible Providers Reach Meaningful Use, from this unit's readings.

For this discussion, imagine you are practicing in a rural setting or in an organization that is similar to the situation described in the case study. You have been asked by the organization to briefly explain a potential course of action based on the case study, including ethical considerations related to that course of action. You have also been asked to present evidence that would support your course of action or help inform its development or implementation.

The response for this discussion will contain two parts. You will need to address the bullet points under each part to successfully complete this discussion.
