Assignment: I am to act as if I am the office manager of a primary care practice that recently acquired some extra money; funds that I believe should be used to upgrade a rudimentary health information technology system to better mange its electronic records. Staff members are still pulling paper files and the physicians are using dictation. Yet the practice's owner is unconvinced of the need to upgrade the existing system- in her view, the current practice is in compliance with HIPPA, and the money could be used for other purposes, nor can the time to train staff on using this new technology be spared. But I still believe buying a new more modern system could dramatically improve operational efficiency and keep staff current in their field. For this assignment I am to write a proposal to the practice's owner and staff ( as the office manager of this primary care facility ) justifying my recommendations for purchasing a current cutting edge health information management system. Setting cost aside, and using the internet and library, (incorporating a minimum of 5 references), and including the following in my proposal: What are the potential benefits of an upgraded system to the practice? What are the potential benefits of an upgrade system to the staff?
Who will need to be trained to use the systems/technologies? What challenges will you face at implementing this new system?
