Assignment: Computerized Physician
Now that you have identified the data sets, discussed the electronic health record (EHR) and computerized physician order entry (CPOE), and identified patient demographic information data elements that are necessary for the new system, you will begin your needs analysis in preparation for selecting the vendor for the EHR. Update the Key Assignment with feedback from the peer review Discussion Board and faculty grading feedback.
Once your document is updated, add the following to your paper of 3-4 pages not including the title page, abstract page, and reference page:
Identify the appropriate department heads that need to be part of the EHR implementation committee.
The computers in the facility are outdated. Identify what will need to be done to prepare for the EHR implementation.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
