HIM-500-Q1513
Milestone 1
In the field of health informatics, particular historical events
help inform the management of health information:
1. The 1950s saw the early development of health informatics
through cybernetics and information processing. This entailed
professionals from various fields, such as clinical
documentation and epidemiology.
2. The 1960 to 2000 period saw the evolution of data analysis
and computing. Health information management was facilitated
through the development of electronic medical records systems.
Such systems are vital for health information management since
they provide real-time patient-centered records to authorized
users (Collen & Ball, 2018).
3. There is the period from 2000 to the present where
stakeholders have moved to digitize healthcare processes such
as information sharing, record keeping, and care coordination.
Guidelines
There are several guidelines for technology use that
Feather fall could implement in health information management.
For starters, the medical staff should get the relevant training

required to utilize the technology to facilitate the effective
acquisition, analysis, and protection of patient information.
Training ensures they can tackle any challenges they may
encounter to collect accurate data and analyze it in a way that
benefits patients. Additionally, the medical staff needs to ensure
that the devices they use are beyond the reach of unauthorized
individuals. This is crucial in promoting patient
confidentiality/privacy and securing pertinent data does not get
into the wrong hands (Ozair et al., 2018). Finally, medical
practitioners should provide feedback about their experiences to
ensure that the technology they use can be improved in the
future.
Standard Technologies
There are various standard technologies used in health
information management. For starters, concerning record
keeping, some of the traditional EHR technologies include Epic
Systems and Meditech. Many institutions use these two systems
due to their departmental functionality and extensive usability.
RingCentral Video is a standard technology for
videoconferencing that facilitates open communication and
interactive communications among healthcare providers.
Different practitioners can share information and work together
in real-time to facilitate effective patient care. Finally, there is
the use of Vendor-Neutral Archives (VNAs) and Picture
Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) when it comes
to processing and storing the medical images of patients (Sirota-
Cohen et al., 2019).
How Roles at Feather fall Interact with Technology
The pertinent roles at Feather fall would interact with
technology through a simple but effective communication
system that ensures all users can get the most out of the health
management technologies on offer. Currently, the staff members
have poor training and no means of effectively communicating

with each other regarding technology use. Also, the staff
utilizes the technologies inappropriately, leading to several
regulations violations. Through effective communication, the
staff members can get training and real-time technical support
to ensure that the technological systems available are used
effectively.
Process for Evaluating New Health Information Technology
Systems
To evaluate new health information technology systems,
the systems will be checked to see the specific problems they
have been designed to tackle. These should be problems that are
relevant to the organization and its stakeholders. Second, the
usability of the system will be evaluated. All stakeholders
should have a general consensus on how easy and effective it is
to use the systems. Training materials and support services
should be in real-time (Sittig & Singh, 2019). Third, the system
will be evaluated to see if it meets the relevant government
regulations and laws and the institution's policy. This is vital in
ensuring the institution is not breaking any laws and is not
susceptible to lawsuits. Finally, the system will be evaluated for
its cost-effectiveness. The cost of purchasing the systems and
maintaining them will be considered. Ideally, the system should
be easy to upgrade and maintain to facilitate sustainabil ity.

HIM 500 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Imagine you have been contracted to consult on the
recent developments at the Featherfall Medical Center.
Featherfall has been struggling of late; it
has had a series of problems that have prompted your hiring. It
has faced the following issues:
1. Featherfall has recently violated several government
regulations regarding the current state of its technology and
how it is being used. The technology
system is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the
technology that is in place or they are using the technology
inappropriately. These

problems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting
government regulations and have caused operational and ethical
problems from
inefficient and ineffective use of technology.
2. The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of
technology and do not communicate appropriately about
technology use. The roles that
pertinent to your consult are the health information management
team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and
administrative staff. The health
information management team uses proper coding practices, and
the current technology system serves them well, despite its age.
However, other roles
in the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff,
for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of
training on the system and
the system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within
the organization have taken issue with the lack of
communication about the technology
and its use between the various roles. When the current
technology system was chosen many years ago, the needs of
these various roles were not
considered.
In this milestone, you will submit a discussion of the history of
healthcare information management/informatics and the current
landscape in terms of
technology. This milestone will set the stage for your project.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Preparation for Consult: In this section of your final project,
you will prepare for your consultation on the organization’s
technology choice. To prepare,
you will analyze the field of health information management for

determining standard technologies and guidelines related to
technology use in order to
inform your technology selection.
A. Analyze key historical events in the field of health
informatics for how technology has been used that could inform
the management of health
information. Be sure to support your response with appropriate
examples.
B. Determine guidelines for technology use in the field of
health information management that Featherfall could
implement. Be sure to support
your response with research.
C. Determine the standard technologies currently used in the
field of health information management. Be sure to support your
response with
research. For example, what record-keeping technologies are
typically used in the field?
D. Develop an overview of how the pertinent roles described at
Featherfall would interact with technology.
E. Describe the process you would use to evaluate new health
information technology systems. Be sure that your process will
evaluate new
systems based on how they meet the needs of the organization
and how they are compliant with health regulations and laws.
