Preparation

Vila Health is considering either upgrading its current system or implementing a new one. No matter what the final decision is, as an administrator, you must be prepared for a major overhaul or change to the health information system at Vila Health.

The chief operations officer has asked you to prepare an executive summary explaining each key step involved in developing an implementation plan, including a process and timeline to collect and analyze data, generate reports, facilitate decision making, and determine the resource requirements for a health information system (HIS).

Complete the Vila Health: Health Care Information System Implementation interactive simulation, linked in the Resources. Gather preliminary information that will allow you to develop a process and timeline for a health care information system project. You may also wish to review the previous Vila Health simulations for additional information.

In addition, you may also wish to use the Capella University Library to explore topics relevant to project management for HIS implementation.

Requirements

Develop a high-level plan for implementing a new or upgraded health information system.

Note: Remember that you can submit all—or a portion of—your draft plan to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Document Format and Length

Format your implementation plan using APA style.

· Use the APA Style Paper Template, linked in the Required Resources. An APA Style Paper Tutorial is also provided (linked in the Suggested Resources) to help you in writing and formatting your plan. Be sure to include:

· A title page and references page. An abstract is not required.

· A running head on all pages.

· Appropriate section headings.

· Your implementation plan should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and references page.

Supporting Evidence

Cite at least two sources of credible scholarly or professional evidence to support your plan.
