Leveraging Evidence to Overcome Resistance
In the age of evidence-based practice, it is often evidence that makes the most compelling argument. Additionally, best practices, especially with regards to process changes, can be a very valuable piece of evidence when it comes to making a compelling argument about the need for changes and improvements.
By the end of this unit, you will submit your Stakeholder Communication in Health Information Systems assignment. As part of the assignment, you will be asked to analyze best practices that could be used to overcome resistance from stakeholders to the recommendations you made about Independence Medical Center’s EHR system in your first assignment.
For your main post of the discussion, please address the following:
· Summarize one recommendation you made in your first assignment.
· Identify two stakeholder groups potentially impacted by the recommendation.
· For each stakeholder group, answer the following:
· How will the recommendation impact the stakeholder group?
· What is the stakeholder group most likely to be resistant toward? Why?
· How could the stakeholder group’s resistance impact the implementation or sustainability of your recommendation?
· What is a best practice or piece of evidence that you could leverage to overcome the stakeholder group’s resistance?
· How is the best practice or evidence compelling?
Support your post with at least one peer-reviewed source, using course readings or other scholarly literature. Include APA-formatted in-text citations and accompanying congruent APA-formatted references.

Aligning Data Drivers with Organizational Goals
For this discussion, you will take on the role of an organizational leader. You will be in charge of ensuring secured funds for specific EHR or HIT system improvements for the next fiscal year. It has been suggested that the way to guarantee funding is to demonstrate the alignment between the data drivers underlying the desired improvements and the organization’s goals or mission.
As part of this discussion, research an organization (this could be a current or former place of practice or any organization that interests you and for which you can obtain the necessary information) and its possible or existing technology improvement plans as well as its goals or mission.
For your main post of the discussion, in your role as a leader championing specific needed improvements, please address the following:
· Briefly describe one or more changes to an organization’s EHR or HIT systems.
· Explain the data that illustrates that these changes are needed.
· Explain how these changes will improve quality and patient outcomes.
· Briefly describe the organization’s mission and one or more relevant goals.
· Illustrate how the data drivers and improvements align with one or more organizational goals or its mission.
Support your post with at least one peer-reviewed source, using course readings or other scholarly literature. Include APA-formatted in-text citations and accompanying congruent APA-formatted references.

Communicating Technical Recommendations to Nontechnical Audiences
By the end of this unit, you will be submitting your Health Information Improvement Proposal assignment. A key component of the assignment is explaining data products, outcomes, and contemporary data analysis trends. The audience for this assignment is presumed to be a leadership that does not necessarily have a strong data or technical background. Therefore, part of the success of your proposal will be your ability to communicate technical information and recommendations to an audience with potentially limited technical understanding.
For your main post of the discussion, please address the following:
· Describe one or more of the key technical aspects of your Health Information Improvement Proposal.
· Identify the stakeholder groups that are critical to the successful implementation of the aspects of your proposal related to the key technical aspects you described.
· Explain strategies for communicating the key technical aspects to each stakeholder group to ensure clarity and success.
· Explain how failing to implement appropriate communication strategies could introduce elements of risk into the implementation process.
Support your post with at least one peer-reviewed source, using course readings or other scholarly literature. Include APA-formatted in-text citations and accompanying congruent APA-formatted references.
