Homework: Informatics, Healthcare Technology and Coordination of Care
Using what you have learned from the assigned readings for this module, analyze current and proposed uses of patient care technologies, including health information technology (HIT), in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data to design and deliver cost-effective care.
Identify a coordination activity and associated HIT example from the AHRQ Mechanisms for Achieving Care Coordination (Domains) table (Care Coordination: The Game Changer, Table 1, pp. 156).
Discuss the impact of the activity/example on care coordination and the lateral integration of patient care within, across, and among healthcare providers in various healthcare settings.
You must incorporate a minimum of one scholarly resource into the discussion beyond the text and required readings to support your short paper.
