Assignment: Evolution of HI & Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningUnit Outcomes addressed in this Assignment:Define the goals and processes employed in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM) and Practice-Based Evidence (PBE) designs.Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of observational designs in general, and KDDM and PBE specifically.Course Outcomes addressed in this Assignment:HI501-1: Describe the history and development of health informatics.HI501-2: Discuss the relationship between health information decision-making and cognitive support in the clinical setting.HI501-4: Illustrate human-computer interactions in health informatics.Unit 2 Assignment InstructionsCongratulations you have just been hired as the head of the new health informatics unit at XYZ Hospital. Due to the limited department budget you have been provided with student interns instead of a formal staff. One of your first tasks is to ensure that your student interns understand the evolution of health informatics the use of knowledge discovery data mining and practice-based evidence designs. Your interns will also need to understand human-computer interaction in health informatics. You will create a PowerPoint® presentation with speaking notes that covers the following criteria:Part I: History & Evolution of HITitle SlideProvide a review on the history and evolution of health informatics.Define KDDM.Discuss the steps of KDDM.Examine how KDDM is used in health informatics.Define PBE designs.Explain how PBE designs are used in health informatics.Provide a review of the strengths and weaknesses of PBE and KDDM.Part II: Human Computer InteractionYou previously discussed human-computer interaction with your interns and you now want to see how your interns will apply their knowledge of human computer interaction in health informatics. You present your interns with the following scenario.A good friend of yours is the director of nursing at a 220-bed community hospital. Last year the hospital merged with a much larger medical center. One of the upsides, as well as one of the challenges, resulting from this change has been the rapid introduction of new computer systems. The goal is to bring the hospital “up to speed” within 3 years. At present CPOE is being implemented. The general medical and surgical units went live last month. The ICU and pediatrics and obstetrics units are scheduled to go-live next month. The plan is to work out any kinks or problems on the general units and then go-live in the specialty units. Most of the physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants initially complained but are now becoming more comfortable with the computers and are beginning to integrate the CPOE process into their daily routines. Several physicians are now requesting the ability to enter orders from their offices and others are looking into this option.However, there are three physicians who have not commented during this process but are clearly resisting. For example, after performing rounds and returning to their offices they called the unit with verbal orders. After being counseled on this behavior they began to write the orders on scraps of paper and put these in the patient’s charts or leave them at the nurses’ station. When they were informed that these were not “legal orders” they began smuggling in order sheets from the non- activated units. In addition, they have been coercing the staff nurses on the units to enter the orders for them. This has taken two forms. Sometimes they sign and then ask the nurses to enter the orders. Other times they ask the nurses to put the orders in verbally and then they confirm the orders. The nurses feel caught between the hospital’s goals and the need to maintain a good working relationship with these physicians.It is your job to create example answers to the following questions as a basis to start a discussion with your interns.How would you use the theories presented in in Chapter 2 to diagnosis the problems demonstrated in this case? List your diagnoses and explain your analysis.What actions would you recommend to your friend and what reason (theories) would you use as a basis for your recommendations?Continue your presentation with an example answer to the questions above. You will need to ensure that you provide proper reference supports to show your interns that you have used evidence to support your answers.Your entire presentation should be at least 20 slides and include speaker notes on each slide.
