Assignment Topic: Data Project Plan
Part A (Class Discussion)
This case study is practice for the unit Assignment. Work through and discuss this as a group.
As an HIM Data Quality Analyst, you know that information interoperability enables the movement of electronic health information to where and when it is needed to support individual healthcare needs and population-oriented uses. Select and describe one population-oriented use such as disaster management, bioterrorism surveillance, and community healthcare tracking that would be useful for a large, county hospital system. (a page)
Part B Topic: Data Project Plan
Instructions
As an HIM Data Quality Analyst, you know that information interoperability enables the
movement of electronic health information to where and when it is needed to support
individual healthcare needs and population-oriented uses. Select a population-oriented
use such as disaster management, bioterrorism surveillance, and community healthcare
tracking that would be useful for a large, county hospital system and create a data
project plan that justifies data integrity as a key strategic resource and mission tool.
Requirements
Create a data project plan for a large, county hospital system. In your data project plan,
justify data integrity as a key strategic resource and mission tool in a 4 page (excluding cover and reference page) document.
You can accomplish this by: (1) Selecting a population-oriented use for
electronic data (examples: disaster management, bioterrorism surveillance, community
healthcare tracking); (2) Advocating how information interoperability and information
exchange can be efficiently achieved; and (3) Demonstrating how data stewardship can
be accomplished using secondary databases and population databases.
