Assignment: Principles of Human Performance Technology
Nighttime Apnea Partners Institute (NAPI - pronounced Nap-ee) specializes in the study of sleep disorders, such as Apnea. They test both newly announced products and traditional home-remedies. Eventually, after much research, they publish clinical study data on their findings. In addition, they create market-ready sleep-aids that range from the low-tech tool to some very high-tech options.
You are working with them on a software implementation project that will add barcode functionality to their current patient record system and custom-designed sleep-study software. This is a desired functionality in high-demand by the Sleep Specialists who track sleep behaviors of individuals testing various research studies, product studies, or who are simply visiting overnight to identify their specific sleep disorder. Below is the design for this change project.
Task
In a 2 page (minimum) paper following APA format, analyze its strengths and weaknesses.
The Design:
i. Test barcode software against requirements
ii. Training shift leaders in the use of barcode readers
iii. Provide barcode training manuals for shift leaders to use in training their teams
iv. Bring up one wing of the sleep labs per week until all labs are up and running
v. Provide on-the-floor coaches who rotate through sleep labs assisting the technicians, troubleshoot, and coach the use of the barcode readers
vi. During the week that a wing is building its barcode skills, debrief the wing-team at the end of the shift and debrief senior management at their morning "huddle"
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
