For this assignment, you will identify a business need and develop the problem statement for your practicum project. You will use this problem statement for all subsequent assignments.
Investigate an organizational gap or issue at your practicum site and identify a problem or new opportunity that that can be addressed through an informatics solution. Based on your findings, write a 750- to 1,000-word paper that defines the problem or opportunity and explains how it can be addressed through an informatics solution.
I am doing clinical at a hospital as a health care informaticist and this particular hospital is working on introducing a Digital Front Door. A Digital Front Door is a strategy that takes a modern approach to the healthcare interactions that were traditionally in person or manual, offering a more integrated, digital, frictionless experience for patients and members. I have attached an example of my problem statement.
Include the following:
Discuss the issue or gap identified during your investigation and explain what business need is not being met.
Create a problem statement that can be used to provide a snapshot of the issue or gap and the proposed solution.
Describe the departments directly affected and discuss the impact the issue or gap has on them.
Discuss any additional consequences of the issue or gap for organizational performance, other stakeholders, budget, etc.
