HIMT 370 Healthcare Systems: Analysis And Design

HIMT 370Healthcare Systems: Analysis and Design3 CreditsCourse DescriptionThis is the first course in a two-course sequence that addresses methods and techniques ofhealthcare information system (IS) analysis and design as performed within the systemdevelopment life cycle. Included will be techniques for problem definition, requirementsgathering, analysis, logical design, selection, and evaluation of alternative healthcare informationsystems solutions from the point of view of the health provider and user. An emphasis is placedon analysis, development, selection, and evaluation of information systems as they relate tohealthcare.Prerequisite(s): HIMT 300Course Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this course, you will be able to: Explain the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)Distinguish among structured, object-oriented, and agile systems development methodsDiscuss the SDLC and its role in healthcareComprehend project management techniquesProduce SDLC tools, models, and diagramsApply SDLC techniques to a current healthcare problemPerform clinical and analytical workflows in an electronic health recordHIM Curriculum CompetenciesThis course presents the content, knowledge, and skills required for the following 2014 AHIMAbachelor’s degree competencies: I.D.2. – Evaluate health information systems and data storage design.III.A.3. – Recommend device selection based on workflow, ergonomic and humanfactors.III.B.1. – Take part in the development of information management plans that support theorganization's current and future strategy and goals.VI.C.1. – Analyze workflow processes and responsibilities to meet organizational needs.

VI.C.3. – Demonstrate workflow concepts.Course MaterialsCourse OrganizationThe course is organized into 3 units.UNIT 1: SYSTEMS PLANNING.Lesson 1.

Quizzeswill be timed and consist of 15 multiple choice and/or true/false questions.Case SimulationA major goal of this course is to give you the opportunity to apply your systems planning,analysis and design insights to a healthcare information systems problem. In order to achievethis goal, each student will work through a healthcare information systems case simulation.The case simulation is broken up into ten milestones with deadlines scattered throughout thesemester. The goal is for the milestones to break the project up into more manageabledeliverables and to ensure that you are working and thinking about the project throughout theentire semester. All milestone reports are to be organized and submitted to D2L (in a singleMicrosoft Word file when possible). Files should be named “milestone#-firstnamelastname.docx” all lower case. Example: “milestone1-peter-haried.docx”.Consider that you are a Healthcare Systems Analyst for New Century Wellness Group caselocated at the end of each chapter in your textbook. You have been asked to develop a HealthcareInformation System to meet a defined clinical requirement. Evaluate the current system

architecture, applications and data flows using the methods discussed in class and make arecommendation regarding the new system design.EHR SimulationEach student will participate in an electronic health record project simulation hosted throughNeehr Perfect. Neehr Perfect stands for (Networked Educational Electronic Health Record) andis built on the most widely-used EHR system in the world (VistA). VistA is the USgovernment’s EHR. Neehr Perfect is an exactly-as-seen-in-practice EHR. Students will completea series of 10 modules throughout the course to introduce and gain valuable experience using anin-practice EHR system. All Neehr Perfect activities will be submitted to D2L before theassigned due date.

All assignments are due by 11:59 pm on theSunday of the lesson. The instructor reserves the right to take partial or full points off for late

assignments. If you are going to be away, it is suggested you get the assignments done andposted ahead of time to avoid losing points for late submissions.Statement of Student Time CommitmentFor each course credit, students are expected to spend a minimum of 3 hours/week on coursework. Therefore, for a four-credit course, at least 12 hours/week are expected. This is a generalguideline which may vary depending on the assignments and/or quizzes.GradingDetermination of Final GradeThis is how the required work in the course will contribute to your course grade:Assignment PointsQuizzes: 12 @ 15 points each 180NeehrPerfect Activities 10 @ 15 points each 150MPI Activity 55Case Simulation 10 Milestones @ 55 points eachReflection Report135Total Points 1050Grading ScaleGrades Percentage RangeA 90 %B80 - 89.99%C70 - 79.99%D60 - 69.99%F 60.00%ICCourse Calendar550
