The midterm will be a report where you will systematically review a problem of your choice related to health informatics along with citations from a minimum of 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (10-20 sources total).

The midterm will be a report where you will systematically review a problem of your choice related to health informatics along with citations from a minimum of 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (10-20 sources total). You will need to discuss the history of the problem, current technology-based interventions being used to solve the identified problem, discuss the barriers to the problem being solved and the reason behind the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of the current solutions. A focused topic will allow for a stronger and clearer Midterm Report.

For example, a topic in the area of “electronic health records” would be very broad. More preferred and likely to get a better grade would be the topic of “usability” or “implementation considerations in the use of electronic health records,” as this is more focused.

• The Midterm Report should be approximately 5-6 pages (not including references), single-spaced, and in 12-point Arial font, with 1-inch margins.
• Please use a minimum of 7 scholarly journals as sources and a total of 10-20 (including scholarly journals, news articles, and so on) sources for your report.
• Ensure that you follow the APA format for in-text citations (Author, Year) and create a comprehensive reference page at the end of your report, also following APA format

To summarize, in the paper, you will need to:

1. Identify a problem within the context of health informatics and discuss its history – What led to its emergence? Why it has persisted? How long it has been a problem? What are the factors contributing to its ongoing existence?

1. Discuss current technology-based solutions/interventions for the problem
2. Discuss the effectiveness of the current solutions and barriers to the solutions in fully solving this problem
