Health Information Systems–Recommendation for the Acquisition, Implementation, and Support of a Health Information System
PowerPoint Presentation: Health Information Technology to Address the Continuum of Care

Scenario:

Long-Term Care

Bethany Place is a 40-bed independent long-term care facility in the Pacific Northwest. They have existed for over 50 years having come from a faith-based background. With good investments and sound financial management, Bethany place has grown and is executing a capital strategic plan. They are expanding their 40-bed facility to purchase a nearby resident facility and expand into rehabilitative care, adding another 30 beds. They are approximately six months away from receiving the appropriate certificates and regulatory approvals as a rehabilitative care facility for both chronic care patients and recovery of acute head injury. The rehabilitation facility and renovations to the independent long-term care facility are scheduled to begin in the next six months and be executed over an 18-month period. Currently Bethany place has no electronic medical record. There is a third-party service that is used to scan and send automated claims to Medicare and private insurers. A local desktop IT services company was recently contracted to provide managed services to Bethany place and provides the website email and local desktop applications for staff. As part of this initiative a robust new IT network design was implemented for both Bethany place and the anticipated rehabilitation facility. The lack of an electronic health record at Bethany place has created quality issues and risk management issues particularly related to medication reconciliation with patient transfers. The board and senior leadership have asked the Bethany place management to evaluate information technology options in the form of an electronic medical record, and patient management application(s) for both Bethany place and the rehabilitation extension facility as part of executing the strategic plan. 

Read the scenario from the Learning Resources you will develop a PowerPoint presentation to provide an overview of how information technology will address issues in that organization(s)/setting.

Please answer the question in the attached file below.

Submit your Reference page for your Documented Argument Essay in APA here. Submit as an attachment so that the formatting is retained.
Here are some guidelines to remember:
1. Your reference page should have a minimum of four entries, meaning four sources. At least two of your sources should come from the MDC databases.
2. Formatting for reference page:
a. Center the words References one inch from the top of the page.
b. Double space within and between entries–no extra spaces between entries.
c. Every line after the first for each source is indented.
d. Sources are listed in alphabetical order.
e. You can use one of the citation builders to create the entry: Easy Bib, Citation Machine, or an othe that you find reliable and helpful. HOWEVER, remember that these don’t always provide you with the correct spacing and indentation, and you may have to tweak those in your paper. Also, check that the entry looks like an APA reference page entry should for the type of document you are citing–whether a journal article, an interview, a magazine article, a chapter from a book, etc.
3. Email your professor with questions. You want to get this right so that no points are lost to formatting errors.
