Think about workflow related to
your focus area. Whose workflow
would be important to consider
when designing and implementing
informatics solutions?
Visit the AHRQ Health IT tools
on workflow, choose a tool
and discuss how it would be
used to evaluate/plan/design
workflow implications to
resolve an informatics
challenge in your focus area.
Think about human factors and
your focus area. Identify areas
where humans are challenged.
Where does human performance
suffer? Or, where do humans get
frustrated by a technology or
process? How could human
factors be used to improve the
design of technologies and
informatics tools to better support
humans in your focus area.
Throughout your post, be sure to
demonstrate your understanding
and synthesis of readings and
activities from Weeks 1-6 of the
course (cite course readings,
integrate explanations of
concepts/theories into your
description of informatics in your
focus area). You should expand
on the topics in the prompts
where appropriate to include other
concepts (e.g., technology
acceptance model, usability
guidelines, user-centered design
processes) from Week 6,
particularly.
Include at least one additional
informatics-focused reference
outside of those required for class
readings in your post.
You should also consider
including any multimedia (images,
figures, videos) that help to
describe informatics in your focus
area.
