Failed Electronic Health Record Implementation
Students are provided with a case study that depicts a failed electronic health record (EHR) implementation effort at a healthcare facility. Students then write a 5-7 page paper that demonstrates their ability to both evaluate and develop project management strategies that would suit the particular concerns and issues that are inherent to this real world scenario. Specifically, the case study paper is designed to help students achieve the following 3 objectives:
1. Identify and critically analyze a project management framework found in the literature to diagnose deficiencies in the hospital’s implementation process.
2. Apply the project management framework to offer a detailed recommendation to the hospital that would help it improve future IT related implementation projects.
3. Include a consideration of some of the potential barriers that the hospital would need to overcome in order to implement their proposed solution (or rather include a thoughtful critique regarding the limitations or weaknesses of their recommendation).
4. Suggest an evaluation plan to assess the effectiveness of the implementation process.
