Using the EHR technology solution proposed in Stage 2 (attached), briefly explain it and then copy the table
below and complete the remaining three columns. For each area of consideration, you should rate
it as high, medium, low, or N/A (Not Applicable) in importance or relevance at
time of implementation (and not sometime in the future) for the specific EHR technology
solution you proposed for the UMUC Family Clinic. Then, provide a brief description, a minimum of two sentences, and a brief
explanation, a minimum of two
sentences, to justify that rating or the N/A. Do not try to create a reason if there is
none, but carefully analyze each consideration and determine whether it applies
and how. Explanations must provide
enough information to convey the reasoning behind the rating. DO NOT
copy the definitions from the textbook or other sources but put into your
own words to demonstrate your understanding of the concept as you provide your
explanation for the rating. Use the Grading Rubric to be sure you have covered
everything. Submit your paper with answers
to parts 1 and 2 as a Microsoft Word document.
Part 1: Briefly
explain your proposed EHR technology solution.
Identify what the solution is, what it is expected to do for the UMUC
Family Clinic, and what major hardware, software and communications components
will be used, summarizing the information you provided for Stage 2.
Part 2: Table of
Considerations. The Areas for
consideration are defined in the section “Concepts” which follows the table of
considerations. An example for one entry
is also provided below (you cannot use the area identified in the example for
your assignment). Click on the upper
left corner of the table to copy it into your paper.

Research and add a consideration from your knowledge of the |
Concepts:
The 19
considerations covered in the above table can be found in the following
readings:
- Operational, Security and Architectural
Safeguards – Ch. 27 & 28 & 29 - Ethical and Legal consideration – Ch. 3
& 13 (Week 7 readings)
You can also use
sources outside of the text but make sure they are used in the same context and
cite your sources.
For consideration
#20, it is up to you to add a consideration that you feel is important, and
that was not covered in the 19 considerations listed in the table. It is expected that you may do some external
research, if you can’t find an additional consideration through your course
readings. This is part of the assignment and is not additional credit.
