Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Case Study

Case Studies
Select two of the following case studies and answer the questions associated with those case studies.
 

Chapter 7: How are patients prioritized for bed assignment? Describe some of the advantages and disadvantages of      this new software; include the stated organizational goals in your answer. Discuss how this software might share data with other      institutional applications to provide a dashboard view of census-type      activity.

 Chapter 8: Which components are critical to Mrs. Smith staying      safely in her home? Describe whether Mrs. Smith’s regimen might be      augmented using mhealth applications.

 Chapter 9: Why would it be important to introduce the clinicians      to standardized terminologies and involve them in discussions about      electronic health records (EHRs) before contacting potential software      vendors, or should you use the reverse approach? What steps would you need to complete before reporting      to the board of directors?

 Chapter 10: Describe the approaches you would use to ensure that      all aspects of patient care were considered when developing a clinical      decision support (CDS) system.  How would you prioritize the efforts of your CDS team? How would you balance the need to deliver desired CDS      capabilities quickly against the benefits of establishing robust      infrastructure to enable future deliverables to be implemented more      quickly? Identify one area for quality and value improvement.  Define CDS interventions that you would implement to       address this area of need. Describe how your approach aligns with the best       practices discussed in this chapter. How would you systematically measure the impact of       these CDS interventions?

 For each case study, your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In addition to the textbook, utilize a minimum of two scholarly sources per case study to support your statements.
