HS174 Demonstrations of Three Healthcare Information Systems Research Paper

 

 

On the World Wide Web, find descriptions or demonstrations of three (3) healthcare information systems (HIS). Perform these steps to complete the assignment:

• Briefly describe each system.
• Make a list of features that each system has in common.
• What are the main differences between the systems you have chosen to describe?
• Based on the information provided on the web sites visited, what type of health or healthcare facility might be interested in acquiring the system, i.e., what type of facility would find it useful?
• In which quadrant of the HIS Planning Framework in Chapter 4 of the textbook would each system be appropriately classified?

Make sure to include the url of the web page(s) for each of the three vendor sites you visit. Use APA style guide format.

Below is a listing of some common HIS.  You can choose three from this list or find others on the World Wide Web that interest you. Keep in mind that vendors generally supply many different types of HIS. Large vendors offer solutions that would fall in different quadrants of the HIS Planning Framework: Revenue Cycle Management, Employee Performance Assessment, EHR systems, pharmacy… Pick only one system (usually presented as a “solution”) when reviewing vendor sites.
