Much as modern travelers rely on tools to plan, research, and implement journeys, nurse
informaticists, and others have at their disposal tools to best approach the evaluation of HIT
and healthcare information systems. But not every tool is appropriate for every situation, so
an understanding of goals and which measures will best help evaluate success is
necessary.For example, surveys are a popular tool for gathering information. For the results
of the evaluation to be meaningful, however, the survey used must be both reliable and
valid. What does that entail? A reliable instrument is one that would yield similar results
when given to different groups under identical circumstances. For example, if a survey was
given to nurses on the use of a certain piece of technology, all respondents would
understand the phrasing of the questions the same way. Validity refers to how well the
instrument actually measures what it is intended to measure. Determining the reliability
and validity of a survey instrument can be complicated and involves the use of statistics. For
this reason, many researchers opt to use instruments that are already developed and
tested.For this assignment, research potentially appropriates HIT evaluation tools, then
select and describe one tool for use in your Evaluation Project Plan. In a 3-page
assignment, – Describe the evaluation tool that you selected for your Evaluation Plan
Project. – Provide a rationale for your selection. – Develop a plan for utilizing the tool for
your Evaluation Methodology Plan.Reference: (please add a few more references within the
