For assignment one, you will compose an annotated bibliography in preparation for a change proposal. For this assignment, select an area of diversity and inclusion that is of interest to you. Choose a current D&I issue within the workplace with the intent to frame a proposal to senior leadership or state legislature. Optimally, this is a topic relevant to the work you will complete for your capstone.

You will present information on this issue in two sections.  The first section should be written in the form of an academic essay, providing an introduction of 2-3 pages that explains the issue you have selected and what change you intend to propose.  You will then create an annotated bibliography of at least 10 sources (no more than 12).

What is an Annotated Bibliography?

According to Purdue Owl Writing (2019), an annotated bibliography provides a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources listed in a bibliography.  While any phrases directly quoted from the source should be properly indicated, an annotated bibliography should capture, in your own words, the key ideas contained in each source.

An annotated bibliography can provide many types of information. Depending on the nature of your assignment, an annotated bibliography will typically answer some or all of the following questions:

Summary: What are the main arguments presented in the source? What is the point of this source (i.e., book or scholarly article)? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this source is about, what would you say?

Assessment: Is this a useful source? In what ways? What unique or valuable information can this source provide? Is the information reliable? Does it have any weaknesses?

Record of Research: What are the main things you learned from this source? What do you need to remember about this source in order to find and access it quickly while writing your rough draft?

Format

Submitted assignment should include a cover page and 2-3 page introduction to the selected issue (including in-text citation and references as appropriate). The introduction should be written in the form of an executive summary:
What is the issue?
Why is it relevant to the organization?
Bibliographic information must be presented in APA format.
Annotations go beneath the bibliographic listing for each source in paragraph form. The lengths of the annotations may vary; however, they must be a minimum of two paragraphs in length, but no more than 1 full page.
*Do not simply copy and paste the abstract from an article used for purposes of the annotated bibliography. Articles should be peer-reviewed, not from popular press magazines and/or websites. Utilize the CLU library resources to identify the articles used in this assignment.

**If approached with intention, this assignment can provide a helpful foundation for the assignment (Literature Review) due in Week 5 and will help prepare you for your capstone project.

Mechanics: This assignment is to be submitted as an academic essay. Introduction of 2-3 pages, annotations, and Reference page following the APA style. 10-12 sources for the annotated bibliography. You are required to reference the readings and articles that provide evidence of effectiveness for your proposed plan.  Adhere to the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for citation and references.

Hospital Systems, Ancillary Services, and Physician Practices are often the focus of HIT initiatives. While these settings are key areas for HIT advancement and data acquisition, there are places within the continuum of care that often lack automation or comprehensive data management strategies, creating gaps in the longitudinal health record and both an individual and population level.

The Final Project allows you to develop a comprehensive IT strategy for one of these settings of care. This week you choose the Scenario for your Final Project from the following list. Descriptions of these settings can be found in your Learning Resources. Beginning this week, you will be building on the progressive HIT topics that culminate in your Final Project (due in Week 11). This week’s Assignment asks you to reflect on your setting of choice as you develop a Charter for the acquisition of a strategic HIT solution.

To Prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the Final Project Scenarios in your Learning Resources and select a setting of care from one of these scenarios:
  • Long-Term Care
  • Critical Access Hospital
  • Telemedicine for Rural-Based Health Facility
• Research current and specific clinical and financial management problems in these settings of care and evaluate how technology might be justified to address the most pressing challenges.

Scenario: Critical Access Hospital Electronic Health Record

Bedford Hospital is a 25-bed hospital in rural Pennsylvania. They have recently completed the process of being designated by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) a CAH (critical access hospital). Prior to this designation they were part of a large academic health center but have since divested from that health center. As part of that agreement their current electronic health record contract, which is with Cerner Corporation as part of that medical center’s enterprise agreement, will be expiring in 24 months. Currently all aspects of Cerner’s inpatient product are implemented including documentation, orders, decision support and electronic meds administration. Cerner’s registration admissions discharge scheduling and patient identification products are also part of this agreement as are the laboratory radiology and pharmacy systems.

While Bedford Hospital was part of the academic center the Cerner product suite was financially supported as part of the overall corporate structure. As part of the divestiture agreement, the academic center has agreed to support Bedford’s
Cerner systems in total for a 24-month period, absorbing the Cerner software and enterprise hardware costs in that timeframe. Bedford Hospital is taking financial responsibility for three IT staff and day-to-day IT costs such as networks devices email and Internet costs. The CEO and CFO of Bedford Hospital have pulled together an interdisciplinary team to examine the technology options for Bedford Hospital after this 24-month period.

The Assignment:

Write a 3- to 4-page (excluding title and reference pages) APA style paper, addressing the following elements for the scenario that you choose. This will also be the scenario used to complete your Final Project. For this Assignment, address the elements of a project Charter used to plan the acquisition of an HIT solution for the setting of choice. The Charter should include:

• Problem statement. A specific statement of the problems that you intend to address in this scenario using technology solutions.
• Scope of the HIT solution to be acquired. This includes both the technical elements of the scope and the business and clinical functional elements of the scope.
• Stakeholders analysis including the needs of both internal and external stakeholders. This analysis includes a summary of the business and clinical system functions that the technology should address for each of the executive stakeholders.
• Risk Analysis. A specific statement of the financial, technical, legal, ethical, and operational risks involved in introducing HIT into this setting and the feasible mitigation strategies to address these risks.
