Detailed specification for Managing Change in Healthcare IT Implementations module. This article introduces health care managers to the theories and philosophies of John Kotter and William Bridges, 2 leaders in the evolving field of change management. For Kotter, change has both an emotional and situational component, and methods for managing each are expressed in his 8-step model (developing urgency, building a guiding team, creating a vision, communicating for buy-in, enabling action, creating short-term wins, don't let up, and making it stick).
Bridges deals with change at a more granular, individual level, suggesting that change within a health care organization means that individuals must transition from one identity to a new identity when they are involved in a process of change. According to Bridges, transitions occur in 3 steps: endings, the neutral zone, and beginnings. The major steps and important concepts within the models of each are addressed, and examples are provided to demonstrate how health care managers can actualize the models within their health care organizations.

This assignment facilitates comprehensive knowledge transfer in regard to the components, infrastructure, and functionality of the regional health information organization (RHIO).
Scenario:
You have been hired as the director of public health informatics for the Centervale County Department of Public Health because you have valuable knowledge about the functionality and functioning of RHIOs. This is what you have learned about Centervale’s plans:
The Centervale County department of public health plans to deploy a county-wide RHIO.
The department requires healthcare establishments and practitioners in the county to migrate from a paper-based health records system to an electronic medical records (EMR) system within the next five years.
The department also requires all practitioners to connect to the county Health Information Exchange set up by the RHIO within the next five years.
Directions:
Your primary responsibility is to propose policies and mandates that ensure maintenance of confidentiality and privacy of protected health information. Keeping that in mind, prepare a 10–12-slide PowerPoint presentation for the Centervale County Department of Public Health officials that includes the following:
Discuss the challenges of privacy and confidentiality within the history and evolution of public health informatics.
What opportunities will the migration to an EHR and the implementation of a RHIO provide to address these challenges?
Address the following issues with establishing a county-wide RHIO:
Identify and discuss the privacy concerns about the collection and distribution of health information across the RHIO.
Describe the access rights of individuals and any groups to the data collected and stored by the RHIO.
Identify and explain interoperability standards deployed by the RHIO.
Propose a list of policies and mandates that would ensure maintenance of confidentiality and privacy of protected health information as mentioned in the above issues.
Evaluate and identify the best tools or system of public health informatics to manage the county’s public health information and explain how that tool or system will uphold privacy.
Give examples of how key public health information systems in the United States use these policies and mandates to guarantee the security, confidentiality, and accessibility of the data they contain.
Describe some of the search tools available to locate and analyze public health data.
Examine how the policies, mandates, tools, and standards that have evolved in the development of RHIOs might contribute to a global strategy for use of information technology (IT) in healthcare to reduce health inequity.

A Nurse’s Role in the Systems Development Life CycleWhile the proc.docxJospehStull43
A Nurse’s Role in the Systems Development Life Cycle
While the process of developing and implementing a health information technology system may seem overwhelming at first, the systems development life cycle (SDLC) provides organizations with a framework to deliver efficient and effective information systems. Though the SDLC is a common overarching structure for implementing information systems, it is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, there are a multitude of approaches that can be used to guide the systems development life cycle. The SDLC approach that is most appropriate for a particular organization will be highly contextual and subject to organization-specific differences.
This week prompts you to analyze the process of selecting an appropriate health information technology and then evaluate techniques that positively impact the steps of the systems development life cycle in an EHR implementation. You also determine what barriers might occur at each stage and how these could be overcome.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
