Write a 68-page executive summary that presents specific recommendations for your technology plan. You may use your practice setting, workplace, or the Vila Health: Data Collection Techniques simulation to complete this assessment. The audience for this proposal is the leadership team at your organization or practice setting. Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. As new projects and technology become a part of a health care organization, the requirements for maintenance and support become a reality. It is important to explore how technology allows for the successful continuation and utilization of new projects in the organization. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 3: Evaluate hardware and software used in health information systems. o Examine potential solutions for technology requirements. o Evaluate the degree to which a specific hardware or software resource could be used to optimize a specific health care technology or information system. Competency 4: Apply change management strategies to nursing scenarios impacted by the daily use of health information systems. o Provide evaluation criteria that support a proposed solution for technology requirements. Competency 5: Articulate what optimization means as part of the life cycle and how it supports the nursing process. o Design a visual representation of evaluation criteria of proposed solutions and their associated scoring. Competency 6: Communicate as a practitioner-scholar, consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional. o Write clearly and logically with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics, and correctly format citations using current APA style. Technology integration requires knowledge in both hardware and software requirements. Nursing leaders must create strategic plans to project technology needs and anticipated costs. Optimization will require an understanding of factors such as technology needs, education, workflow revisions, and costs. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. What opportunities and challenges present themselves in the testing phase of project management? How can a nursing informatics professional provide support for adult learners? What is the impact of adult learning theory on training? Suggested Resources The resources provided here are optional. You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are appropriate, credible, and valid.

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. In the prior assessments, you created a proposal, then a strategic plan to support the new technology for your practice setting or for within Vila Health. In this assessment you will present specific recommendations for your technology plan based on your prior work. You will develop an executive summary of recommendations that includes the following information: Examine four potential solutions that will meet the technology requirements. Provide evaluation criteria that will support the recommendation of one of the four proposed solutions. If you create your own evaluation criteria, be sure to use the literature to support your statements. In your paper, present a table that will provide a visual representation of the evaluation criteria and their associated scoring in terms of advantages and disadvantages. Provide a rationale for the four recommended solutions. Writing Requirements Length: At least 68 double-spaced pages, excluding the cover page and references list. Include page numbers, headings, and running header. References: At least five peer-reviewed resources formatted following current APA guidelines. Formatting: Use correct APA style and formatting, paying particular attention to citations and references. Font size and type: 12-point Times New Roman.
