Introduction
Clinical information system (CIS) is purposely designed to be
used in critical care conditions such ICU ( Intensive Care
Unit).
In modern hospitals it can network with other computer systems
including radiology and pathology.
The information is drawn to the electronic patient record by the
systems (Musen, Middleton & Greenes, 2014).
Communication has been improved by the use of CIS because
health professionals are able to share information.
Health Information and Management System Society (HIMSS)
is selected organization for CIS use.
Clinical Information system is important in enhancing service
delivery to the patient especially those in critical conditions and
those who needed more attention.
Electronic patient record records make it easy to access
information of the patients and communication enhance sharing
of information.

Role of CIS
CIS helps in improving the quality of services provided to
patient who are in critical condition
Facilitates sharing of information and communication
concerning specific patient (Wager, Lee & Glaser, 2017).
Enables the faster decision making by the physicians or
clinicians during the encounter with patient in critical
condition.
The X-rays for the patient can be taken and scanned when in
need.
CIS plays important roles in the healthcare facilities.
it improves service quality provided to the patients, sharing of
information and enables decision making process to be done
within a short time because all the information needed can be
easily accessed.
3
Role of CIS
Help the healthcare to achieve equity and patients are provided
with better care.
It allows analysis of the information by the health agencies or
healthcare practitioners.
Clinical information system assist recording of the data of the
patient.
Eliminates errors which would have occurred when entering
data manually.
It also becomes easy to analyze health information by the health
agencies including government or donors who need to provide
some assistance to the healthcare.

Recording of data by the patients become easy because there is
no manual entering of the data hence eliminating errors.
4
Impacts of CIS
Increases access to medical information because of good
maintenance of the records form of the patient.
The authorized users would be able to receive the immediately
as there is no time wasting in files transfer (Boulware et al,
2016).
It also make it easy for the clinicians to address emergence
admission or unscheduled visit.
It also minimizes overload of the information and promote a
better care of the patient.
Keeping of the records form of the patient become easy since all
the information can be accessed in the portal.
Transfer of information is only through the authorized users
hence maintaining the confidentiality of the patient’s data.
It becomes easy for the healthcare to do admission for
emergences and attend to the unscheduled visits.
5
Impact of CIS
CIS reduces errors which could occur during transfer of the
data manually.
Errors in the information of the patient can lead to poor
decision and wrong diagnosis.
CIS minimizes the costs of labor in the healthcare systems
because only one person per computer is needed.
It facilitates better research in the healthcare since data can be
easily shared.

One of the challenge of the manual data entry in the healthcare
is errors therefore, CIS eliminates these errors since most of the
information is automated.
Errors have been the cause of the poor decision making made by
the clinicians on certain diagnosis and medication to the
patients.
Cost of the labor is reduced especially on hiring the secretaries
who would be entering the data and keeping of the files.
Only one person per computer is needed hence less costs.
6
Legal and regulatory requirements
strategies to ensure Privacy and security of the data of the
patients.
Protection of the patients rights and confidential information in
case there is data breaches from the organization.
compliance with confidentiality and privacy of the patients in
all situations (Levesque et al, 2015).
Functionality of the system and how it would be beneficial to
the organizations and society in general.
There are legal and regulations which must be complied with
before implementation of the CIS, these include
Strategies which would be used in ensuring security of the data
and privacy.
Compliance with confidentiality and privacy of the patients
which is shown in the healthcare ethics.
Functionality of the CIS has to be proved and how it would
benefit the community where it is used.
7
Legal and regulatory requirements
Creation of one login that is integrated and allows sharing of
information to other system.

The system should have a long term benefits which are clearly
indicated in details.
Indicating the relationship between clinical information systems
and the goals of the organizations.
Complying with requirements of the meaningful-use which
enables the organization to receive incentives for electronic
medical used.
There is also compliance of the meaningful use of the CIS and
how it would be more efficient as compare to the previous
system which was operating.
There should be existence of one log in which would be
controlling the other computer systems in the healthcare.
All goals must also be clearly indicated and illustrate how they
match with the organizational goals.

Value summaries of Clinical information system
The quality services to the patient because of the faster sharing
of information (Nguyen,Bellucci & Nguyen, 2014).
The outcomes of CIS are associated to proper diagnosis of the
diseases leading to right medication and treatment.
The transfer of the data is safe because it is shared to the
authorized individuals more so the clinicians.
Effective treatment and medication leads to patient recovery.
Values which the CIS must for it to be implemented are;
Ability to provide quality services to the patient and enhance
faster communication for the sharing of the information.
It leads to reliable results due to error elimination
There is also effective treatment and medication because the

results generated are reliable.

Value summaries of Clinical information system
Generally, the productivity of the organizations increased
because faster service delivery.
It promotes the performance of the physicians before they do
not wait for data to be recorded manually.
The cost also reduces because the number of the workers needed
to record the data reduces.
It also improves the efficiency in terms of timely planning and
effective decision making.
In terms of productivity , it is increased because of the
improved services of the clinicians and faster delivery.
Effective decision making and timely planning of the activities
improves the efficiency.
Cost reduction due to reducing the labor especially on the
maintenance of the files
10

The services provided by the organization improves more so the
patient in critical conditions.
The patients who are the customer also get satisfied with the
services hence establishing good customer relationship.
Proper treatment and medication also saves the cost of the
patient of moving from one hospital to another.
Good services in the healthcare organization promotes the well-
being of the people.

Generally, there is improvement of the services especially to
patients who need emergence services.
The level of satisfaction increases and the probability of the
patient becoming regular customer to the organization is high
because of quality services
Cost is saved when the patients they are provided with effective
treatment and medication because they will recover and no need
to seek furhter treatment.

Project 2 Outline
Watch the instructions for the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNKwFEWBfzg&feature=yo
utu.be
For this part of the project you will create an outline for your
final project 2 paper. My instructions for the final paper will be
purposely ambiguous.

You will write a paper about your chosen company (with
citations). The purpose will be to demonstrate why you might
or might not want to invest in that company. Your analysis
should include, but should not be limited to:
A discussion about the industry in which your company
competes
A brief history of the company
A discussion about the company’s strategy
An in depth analysis of financial data
The ambiguity lies in your perception of the importance of
different financial data. What do I mean by that? Industries
tend to use different standards in which to compare companies
to one another. For example, in banking some key financial
numbers might be efficiency ratios, past due ratios, ROA, and
reserve for loan loss. That set of data will probably not be
useful for a retail corporation. Some numbers may be common
like sales trends or EPS. You will need to design your financial
analysis around data that is particularly relevant to the industry
you chose.
Just to clarify, this assignment due the 9th of November is to
simply submit an outline of your proposed paper. Please make
it as detailed as possible. I will of course review your outline
and make suggestions to make sure you are on track. I can’t
imagine that I will make major changes. So if you are
interested in pushing ahead over the Thanksgiving holiday you
have my blessings. (a little play on words there) e-mail me at
any time in the process if you have questions.
My company is Ford

CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
Walden University
OM010
Compatibility of Goals, Value and Mission with CIS
A Clinical Information system is the recommended
information system in the Health Information and Management
System Society (HIMSS). The organization gives an opportunity
for people to participate in discussion and exercises that shapes
the industry of healthcare. HIMSS also works to promotes
public policies, which aims at improving service delivery in
healthcare and encourages the use of emerging technology. The
goals of the HIMSS are compatible with Clinical Information
system because it focuses on improving the health service
delivery system so as to ensure better healthcare delivery
(Musen, Middleton & Greenes, 2014). The goal of the HIMSS
is to advance the utilization of information system to improve
the health of the people. These goals are similar to the Clinical

Information System goals, which focuses on improving health
care services and increasing between healthcare workers,
providers and physicians within the healthcare system. The
value of HIMSS is exchanging experiences in an organized
manner at a global dimension. The organization is committed to
the professional conduct of the highest standard and adding
value to the industry of healthcare. The missions, values and
the goals of the organizations are compatible with the Clinical
information system of improving the health services and
continuous innovation.
Roles of Clinical Information System
In the HIMSS, Clinical Information System plays a critical
role in improving the quality of services that are provided to
patients who might be in critical conditions. To properly care
for a these patients in the intensive care unit, much attention
and coordination is needed and expected from every healthcare
staff to attain optimal care. This is particularly important
because these patients are already at a higher risk of contracting
or becoming sicker or worse; losing their lives. CIS allows the
physicians to communicate to one another and exchange data on
the specific patients. With technology, exchange of data has
been made less stressful. Communication is made easier
because the doctors do not need to keep exchanging physical
files between nurses, other physicians and or other departments.
It also helps because multiple people have access to this data
while the patient is being treated (Levesque et al., 2015). The
process of decision-making becomes much easier because all the
information can be delivered when needed and the references
made. Faster decision-making shortens the time it would take to
get a diagnosis, which could be the key to saving a patient’s
life. CIS also helps in achieving equity because the patients’
data is entered according to the time they arrived and all
information is contained in the automated computers. The
incidences of unfair treatment are reduced because the
clinicians or the doctors follow the information received from
the Information system center and are able to provide this

information and its time stamps should any complications or
legal issues arise.
Impacts of CIS to HIMSS
One of the greatest impacts of the Clinical Integrated
Systems is the increased access to medical records. Along with
an increased availability of medical records, there will also be a
decline in loss of medical records. When information is kept in
files, it can easily get lost due to constant shuffling and moving,
but the system can recover them in case of anything happens
(Wager, Lee & Glaser, 2017). Because manual and physical
transportation of files has been eliminated, any issues related to
loss or incomplete medical record has been minimized and
people can have access to the records instantaneously.
Additionally, easier accessibility of patient’s files allows
doctors and physicians to address emergencies and unscheduled
visit to their healthcare facility. It would be easy to coordinate
information from various departments, which promote
understanding of what exactly the patient need and the kind of
treatment that should be administered to each patient. It also
helps in minimizing errors that occur during data entry. Manual
data entry increases the risk of human errors that can result in
an improper diagnosis. Consider a patient whose blood pressure
is 170/70, if a nurse writes down 170 as systolic pressure, any
tired physician or healthcare giver could read the pressure as
110/70. A patient with a 170/70 blood pressure is at an
increased risk of getting a stroke. When the diagnosis is not
made correctly, then it can lead to either ignoring an actual
problem or prescribing the wrong medication, which can affect
the patient negatively. Technology goes with innovation and
improves the social status of the people. CIS also facilitates
research, as many people would be eager to understand
emerging technology and put it to use. Investing in this research
qill not only create new jobs for people but also promises a
better future in the healthcare patient information management
field.
Usability Factors

Privacy is one of the most important usability factors in
Health Information System development. Patient information is
sensitive data that should be kept from the public. Patient’s data
should not be revealed to a third party, and the discussion
should be only between the patient, doctor and other people on
the patient’s confidentiality list. It is also important to note that
any physician who is not working on the patients file should not
be allowed access to the patient’s information either, unless
patient release their information for clinical research purposes.
Confidentiality of the assessment and diagnosis reports is
important to the patients. Other usability factors to consider is
the safety of patients and error prevention. All of the usability
factors mentioned above go hand in hand, as one usually affects
the other. The example with the patient whose blood pressure
was recorded incorrectly is a perfect example of how user error
can affect the safety of the patient. If this error was not made,
the patient would have been diagnosed with high blood pressure
and would have been put on medication that can help regulate
his/her pressure. Error prevention is a usability factor that is
one of most valued ethics of the health care system (Grossman
et al., 2016). Error prevention is also crucial as it leads to an
accurate diagnosis of the disease. When the right diagnosis of
the disease is made, then it would be easy for the doctors to
give the right treatment that would lead to recovery and an
overall improvement in the health of the patient.
Strategies for Usability Evaluation
Usability testing is one of the strategies which is utilized
for the evaluation of the services or product which are offered
by the organization. Another strategy is for usability evaluation
is a testing plan. Creating a testing plan assists in reviewing the
usability of the product or service (Musen, Middleton &
Greenes, 2014). Physicians and other healthcare providers
should be included in the planning phase as it allows to provide
an accurate feedback on the usability of the product or services.
This accuracy forms the foundation for effective evaluation. It
can also be done by reporting the results which mainly focuses

on the recommendations and the findings. Efficiency is a key
factor in the clinical information system. Testing for efficiency
allows for proper analysis of the system and fixture of any
problems that might prevent systems efficiency. By including
physicians and healthcare providers in the beta testing phase,
overall efficiency of the system will be improved upon which
translates to a safer and more efficient health information
delivery system.
Integration with Other Products
The clinical Information system will integrate other
products such as insurances, payment information, laboratory
reports, patient’s health history and surveys. The physician who
is discharging the patients would be able to receive a message
in the system that payment of patient has been made and he or
she can be discharged. If the payment were made through
insurance cover, it would also reflect hence less time would be
taken. It can help in facilitating faster services delivery for both
inpatients and outpatients.
Security and Privacy
The system ensures that the security and privacy of patient
information are maintained. This is done through the purchase
of reliable software which enhances the safety of the data. With
the technological advancement, cloud computing is widely
applied to come up with software which ensures the safety of
the data or information. Security is also ensured through the
hiring of employees who have relevant skills and are
experienced in information technology (Boulware et al., 2016).
Privacy is maintained by ensuring the data only passes in the
hand of the authorized individuals. Information from the
diagnosis and assessment of the patient is kept confidential and
no third party which is allowed to discuss it.
Support of the Vendor
Vendors provide support by ensuring that the system is
fully installed with all relevant features available. Vendors also
make sure that the system is working and are available to assist
in rectifying any system lags or glichtes that might occur during

testing and or actual usage of the system. The vendor will also
make sure that updated version of the software which is needed
by the organization is available and update of the system can be
accessed anytime to facilitates the faster working of the system
and provide quality services.
Reliability and Stability
Clinical Information System will invest in testing’s that
will ensure the reliability of the system. It will also be stable
because most of the software would be obtained from companies
which are experienced in cloud computing. The management
team will be experienced with all relevant skills which are
required to operate and ensure effective running of the software.
Robust analytics are run to help provide operational and clinical
insights to the automated registration tools. This allows the
system to provide high-quality experience for the patients while
reorganization the intake process for the healthcare facility as
well.
The Cost of the Clinical Information System
The resources which will be used in the process of buying,
installing and making the software function would include the
cost of buying the computers and technology involved in
building the new system. Computers are needed so that they can
be interconnected and promote the easy transfer of the data.
There is also cost involved buying software which is needed for
maintaining data security of the organization (Musen, Middleton
& Greenes, 2014). Some of the software is very expensive and
can be costly to buy. Installation space is also required and the
team which will be involved in the continuous management of
the system. The overall estimate of the cost which might be
incurred $10,000 million for the system to start operating in a
hospital depending on its size.

The Process of Acquisition and Selection
Clinical information system requires a wise chose so that
the system will function according to the intended functions.
The buyer considers the cost of the resources which will be
required for the effective functioning of the system (Jeon et al.,
2017). The organization tries to compare both the external and
internal factors that might affect the workability of the system.
The process put into consideration goals, plans of the healthcare
and objectives. There is an assessment of the changes which
will take place in the system integration, a cost that will be
incurred and the management change. The process is designed
such that the needs of the stakeholders are given great value.
Conclusion
Clinical information system is an important system as
recommended by HIMSS as it works to increases the value of
patient care and communication within healthcare facilities.
Both cost and implementation is a factor that might affect a
healthcares desire to incorporate CIS. However, the desired
outcome of reducing clinical error and improving service
delivery in healthcare by encourages the use of emerging
technology is the reason CIS is recommended by HIMSS.

Additionally, easier accessibility of patient’s files allows
doctors and physicians to address emergencies and unscheduled
visit to their healthcare facility. It would be easy to coordinate
information from various departments, which promote

understanding of what exactly the patient need and the kind of
treatment that should be administered to each patient. It also
helps in minimizing errors that occur during data entry. Manual
data entry increases the risk of human errors that can result in
an improper diagnosis. Consider a patient whose blood pressure
is 170/70, if a nurse writes down 170 as systolic pressure, any
tired physician or healthcare giver could read the pressure as
110/70. A patient with a 170/70 blood pressure is at an
increased risk of getting a stroke. When the diagnosis is not
made correctly, then it can lead to either ignoring an actual
problem or prescribing the wrong medication, which can affect
the patient negatively. Technology goes with innovation and
improves the social status of the people. CIS also facilitates
research, as many people would be eager to understand
emerging technology and put it to use. Investing in this research
qill not only create new jobs for people but also promises a
better future in the healthcare patient information management
field. Comment by Chris Miller: good job discussing
clinical integration
Usability Factors
Privacy is one of the most important usability factors in
Health Information System development. Patient information is
sensitive data that should be kept from the public. Patient’s data
should not be revealed to a third party, and the discussion
should be only between the patient, doctor and other people on
the patient’s confidentiality list. It is also important to note that
any physician who is not working on the patients file should not
be allowed access to the patient’s information either, unless
patient release their information for clinical research purposes.
Confidentiality of the assessment and diagnosis reports is
important to the patients. Other usability factors to consider is
the safety of patients and error prevention. All of the usability
factors mentioned above go hand in hand, as one usually affects
the other. The example with the patient whose blood pressure
was recorded incorrectly is a perfect example of how user error
can affect the safety of the patient. If this error was not made,

the patient would have been diagnosed with high blood pressure
and would have been put on medication that can help regulate
his/her pressure. Error prevention is a usability factor that is
one of most valued ethics of the health care system (Grossman
et al., 2016). Error prevention is also crucial as it leads to an
accurate diagnosis of the disease. When the right diagnosis of
the disease is made, then it would be easy for the doctors to
give the right treatment that would lead to recovery and an
overall improvement in the health of the patient.
Strategies for Usability Evaluation
Usability testing is one of the strategies which is utilized
for the evaluation of the services or product which are offered
by the organization. Another strategy is for usability evaluation
is a testing plan. Creating a testing plan assists in reviewing the
usability of the product or service (Musen, Middleton &
Greenes, 2014). Physicians and other healthcare providers
should be included in the planning phase as it allows to provide
an accurate feedback on the usability of the product or services.
This accuracy forms the foundation for effective evaluation. It
can also be done by reporting the results which mainly focuses
on the recommendations and the findings. Efficiency is a key
factor in the clinical information system. Testing for efficiency
allows for proper analysis of the system and fixture of any
problems that might prevent systems efficiency. By including
physicians and healthcare providers in the beta testing phase,
overall efficiency of the system will be improved upon which
translates to a safer and more efficient health information
delivery system.
Integration with Other Products
The clinical Information system will integrate other
products such as insurances, payment information, laboratory
reports, patient’s health history and surveys. The physician who
is discharging the patients would be able to receive a message
in the system that payment of patient has been made and he or
she can be discharged. If the payment were made through
insurance cover, it would also reflect hence less time would be

taken. It can help in facilitating faster services delivery for both
inpatients and outpatients.
Security and Privacy
The system ensures that the security and privacy of patient
information are maintained. This is done through the purchase
of reliable software which enhances the safety of the data. With
the technological advancement, cloud computing is widely
applied to come up with software which ensures the safety of
the data or information. Security is also ensured through the
hiring of employees who have relevant skills and are
experienced in information technology (Boulware et al., 2016).
Privacy is maintained by ensuring the data only passes in the
hand of the authorized individuals. Information from the
diagnosis and assessment of the patient is kept confidential and
no third party which is allowed to discuss it. Comment by
Chris Miller: This area vague and general – think about the
specific types of health information that needs to be protected
and then consider best practices. Think about meaningful use
guidelines for example
Support of the Vendor
Vendors provide support by ensuring that the system is
fully installed with all relevant features available. Vendors also
make sure that the system is working and are available to assist
in rectifying any system lags or glichtes that might occur during
testing and or actual usage of the system. The vendor will also
make sure that updated version of the software which is needed
by the organization is available and update of the system can be
accessed anytime to facilitates the faster working of the system
and provide quality services.
Reliability and Stability
Clinical Information System will invest in testing’s that
will ensure the reliability of the system. It will also be stable
because most of the software would be obtained from companies
which are experienced in cloud computing. The management

team will be experienced with all relevant skills which are
required to operate and ensure effective running of the software.
Robust analytics are run to help provide operational and clinical
insights to the automated registration tools. This allows the
system to provide high-quality experience for the patients while
reorganization the intake process for the healthcare facility as
well. Comment by Chris Miller: this area also is still a
little generalized. Try to expand more on reliability factors as
they are specifically related to health information systems.
The Cost of the Clinical Information System Comment by
Chris Miller: This cost is not really well laid out and justified.
What is the cost of implementation for the electronic health
record system, consider average in licensing fees, average
hardware cost average training cost etc. in the field. I noted at
the end you have 10,000 million which is well over $1 trillion I
think that's an error? There's no support for your cost analysis.
It's too vague in general.
The resources which will be used in the process of buying,
installing and making the software function would include the
cost of buying the computers and technology involved in
building the new system. Computers are needed so that they can
be interconnected and promote the easy transfer of the data.
There is also cost involved buying software which is needed for
maintaining data security of the organization (Musen, Middleton
& Greenes, 2014). Some of the software is very expensive and
can be costly to buy. Installation space is also required and the
team which will be involved in the continuous management of
the system. The overall estimate of the cost which might be
incurred $10,000 million for the system to start operating in a
hospital depending on its size. Comment by Chris Miller:
Indent five spaces
The Process of Acquisition and Selection
Clinical information system requires a wise chose so that

the system will function according to the intended functions.
The buyer considers the cost of the resources which will be
required for the effective functioning of the system (Jeon et al.,
2017). The organization tries to compare both the external and
internal factors that might affect the workability of the system.
The process put into consideration goals, plans of the healthcare
and objectives. There is an assessment of the changes which
will take place in the system integration, a cost that will be
incurred and the management change. The process is designed
such that the needs of the stakeholders are given great value.
Comment by Chris Miller: I'm not seeing a timeline
though. By timeline we mean implementation how long to train
the end-users, etc. Give a timeframe breakdown
Conclusion Comment by Chris Miller: this should be bold
and centered
Clinical information system is an important system as
recommended by HIMSS as it works to increases the value of
patient care and communication within healthcare facilities.
Both cost and implementation is a factor that might affect a
healthcares desire to incorporate CIS. However, the desired
outcome of reducing clinical error and improving service
delivery in healthcare by encourages the use of emerging
technology is the reason CIS is recommended by HIMSS.

Part I: PowerPoint Presentation to Board of Trustees: HIT
Recommendation
You have been tasked with evaluating several healthcare
information systems and recommending the best system for your
healthcare organization. Knowing that leadership experiences
with health information systems vary widely, you will develop a
PowerPoint presentation to provide a high-level overview and
rationale for your healthcare information system
recommendation. You understand that for such an expensive and
complex purchase, in-depth research must be disseminated
beyond this presentation. Your first objective, though, is to
ensure that leadership approaches the acquisition with a solid
understanding of the basic issues. Your presentation should be

appropriate to the audience, succinct, and easily understood.
In a 15-slide PowerPoint presentation:
· Evaluate at least two healthcare information systems.
Select one you think works best for the organization. Introduce
and define the healthcare information system you selected.
Explain core functions of the system and the impact these
capabilities can have on the organization.
· Explain legal and regulatory requirements for implementing
the healthcare information system.
· Summarize the value of the healthcare information system in
terms of:
· Improved quality, outcomes, and safety
· Improved efficiency, productivity, and cost reduction
· Improved service and satisfaction
· Summarize specific attributes of this system that are
particularly noteworthy:
· Functionality
· Unique abilities to interface with currently implemented
systems
· Alignments with other organizations within a system
· Other
· Briefly analyze key areas of concern the organization will
need to be prepared to address in the implementation and
evaluation of the healthcare information system.
Part II: Recommendation of a Healthcare Information System
The PowerPoint presentation to the leadership ensures that
board members have a foundational understanding of the
capabilities of—and need for—the healthcare information
system. It also ensures that they understand the high-level
rationale for your recommended system. Continued proposal
efforts, however, will require a more in-depth, research-based
proposal.
In a 5-page, in depth, research-based proposal:
· Identify the healthcare information system you recommend.
· Evaluate how the health information system is compatible to
the organization’s mission, goals, and values.

· Evaluate the core functions of the recommended healthcare
information system and the specific impact these capabilities
will have on the organization.
· Evaluate the usability factors you addressed with the
healthcare information vendor. Explain why you chose to
address these factors.
· Recommend strategies for evaluating the healthcare
information system’s usability.
· Explain how the healthcare information system will integrate
with other products.
· Explain how this system ensures absolute privacy and
security.
· Describe the vendor support that will be supplied if the system
is adopted.
· Evaluate vendor reliability and stability.
· Provide a cost estimate of the healthcare information system.
· Describe the selection and acquisition process by developing a
timeline noting the major milestones of the process.
