MHAFP 5066 Capella University Strategic Workflow Presentation

Description

Develop a presentation slide deck of 15–20 slides that describes a strategic workflow plan for updating workflow as the hospital changes and implements new technology and processes. Note: You are not required to record or deliver this presentation.
Note: Each assessment in this course is supported by the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Health care organizations are integrating HIM systems into every aspect of their daily operations. Consequently, understanding and managing workflows from a strategic perspective is a crucial skill set for nurse leaders and managers.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply your understanding of best practices in HIM system workflow design and implementation.

Use this web resource to better understand health information technology (HIT) workflow. There are several templates on the website that demonstrate workflow design. You may use these templates for a better understanding and visualization of HIT workflow design.

Assessment InstructionsNote: Complete the assessments in this course in the order they are presented.PreparationBefore you begin developing your presentation slides, be sure to complete both of the following Vila Health simulations. You will use the information from these activities, as well as information gathered from your own research, to complete the assessment. 

Vila Health: Strategic Workflow Plan.

In this simulation, you will assume the role of a mid-level administrator at Valley City Regional Hospital, a small rural hospital recently acquired by Vila Health. As a member of a working group focusing on process redesign associated with migrating from Valley City Regional Hospital’s current EHR (Electronic Health Record) to the one being used by Vila Health, your job is to help establish procedures for how workflow gets analyzed, disseminated, and updated when the system changes.

Vila Health: Policy and Procedure.

In this simulation, you will continue in the role of a mid-level administrator at Valley City Regional Hospital. You have a meeting with the workflow analysis working group who will be addressing best practices for implementing sound internal policies and procedures related to workflow associated with changes in HIM technology in a series of roundtable discussions.
