The Module Pre-Assessment is your opportunity to practice applying module content before submitting the final Competency Assessment. In the Final Assessment, you will be asked to evaluate several healthcare information systems and recommend the best system for your healthcare organization. Then, you will create a research-based proposal to further the process of selecting your recommended information system.

To prepare for your Final Assessment, consider how the healthcare information system you recommended is compatible to the organizations mission, goals, and values. Next, reflect on the core functions of the recommended healthcare information system and the specific impact these capabilities will have on the organization including how it ensures absolute privacy and security and how it will integrate with other products. Then, reflect on the usability factors you addressed with the healthcare information vendor, why you chose to address these factors, and what vendor support will be supplied if the system is adopted. Finally, think about estimated cost of the system as well as the timeline of major milestones for the selection and acquisition process.

For this Module Pre-Assessment, create a draft of the research-based portion of your report. Your draft should cite the resources you intend to use to support the content. Be sure to review the Final Assessment Instructions for more details.
