Homework: Healthcare Informatics Concept Map
Step I: For this homework, choose one disease process (example: diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, depression, heart disease, etc.).
Step II: Choose two patient-based medical applications.
1) When choosing these applications, think about being the patient. What applications would help you? What applications might you download to your Smartphone and why?
2) Use Green & Murphy's (2016) article entitled "50 Healthcare Applications for Clinicians and Consumers to Know" to complete this section or use a healthcare application that you find in your own search.
Step III: Create the first concept map for patient-based medical applications
1) Choose three criteria from the list below which you used to select the chosen application by asking yourself - Does the app:
a) Inform: Provide information in a variety of formats (text, photo, video)
b) Instruct: Provide instructions to the user
c) Record: Capture user entered data
d) Display: Graphically display user entered data/output user entered data
e) Guide: Provide guidance based on user-entered information (e., recommend a physician consultation or course of treatment)
f) Remind/Alert: Provide reminders to the user
g) Communicate: Provide communication with the user and/or provide links to social networks.
2) Briefly describe how the application meets the criteria in each of the concept map nodes/sections
Step IV: Choose one provider-based medical application.
1) When choosing this application, think about being the provider (nurse, doctor, advanced practice nurse). What application would help you? What application might you download to your Smartphone and why?
2) Use Green & Murphy's (2016) article entitled "50 Healthcare Applications for Clinicians and Consumers to Know" to complete this section or use a healthcare application that you find in your own search.
Step V: Create the second concept map for provider-based medical applications
1) Choose three criteria from the list below which you used to select the chosen application by asking yourself - Does the app:
a) Inform: Provide information in a variety of formats (text, photo, video)
b) Instruct: Provide instructions to the user
c) Record: Capture user entered data
d) Display: Graphically display user entered data/output user entered data
e) Guide: Provide guidance based on user-entered information (e., recommend a physician consultation or course of treatment)
f) Remind/Alert: Provide reminders to the user
2) Briefly describe how the application meets the criteria in each of the concept map nodes/sections
Step VI: Using the Galen library, research a minimum of two scholarly articles related to the topics associated with the medical applications.
1) Explain how the research supports the use of medical applications in practice. Provide this summary (one paragraph with at least 5-7 sentences) in the box at the bottom of the concept map template provided by your faculty member or you may create your own.
