Step 1: Read and Understand the Assignment

• You are required to create a PowerPoint presentation (6–8 slides, excluding title and references) using the provided Week 2 template.

• Decide whether to focus on a clinical information system (e.g., EHR, CPOE, PACS) or an administrative information system (e.g., billing, scheduling, staffing systems) from your organization.

Step 2: Outline Your Slides

1. Title Slide

   • Include your name and course/session.

   • Keep it simple and professional.

2. Description (1 slide)

   • Name the system (e.g., Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Kronos).

   • Identify whether it is clinical or administrative.

   • Explain its purpose within the organization.

3. Workflow and Outcomes (1 slide)

   • Explain how the system improves workflow (e.g., faster documentation, reduced errors).

   • Show its impact on client outcomes (e.g., improved safety, efficiency).

   • Cite at least one scholarly source on the slide.

4. Documentation and Communication (1–2 slides)

   • Explain how the system supports documentation of care (e.g., progress notes, medication records).

   • Show how it enables communication between healthcare providers (e.g., shared data, alerts, messaging).

   • Include an APA citation.

5. Quality, Ethical, Efficient Care (1–2 slides)

   • Explain how the system supports:

     • Quality care (e.g., reduces errors, improves accuracy).

     • Ethical care (e.g., confidentiality, HIPAA compliance).

     • Efficient care (e.g., time-saving, streamlined tasks).

   • Support with a scholarly citation.

6. Client-Centered Care (1 slide)

   • Explain how the system helps deliver personalized, safe, and effective care.

   • Support with a scholarly source.

7. Reflection (1 slide)

Step 5: Resources for Support

• Purdue OWL: APA Formatting

• Chamberlain University Writing Resources

• Google Scholar (for peer-reviewed sources on HIS/EHR systems)

• Example resource: Kruse, C. S., et al. (2018). The impact of electronic health records on workflow and patient outcomes. Journal of Medical Systems, 42(3), 1–8.
