Assignment 2: Clinical Setting Comparison (15%)
Working in groups of two, select two diverse clinical settings, such as emergency department,
intensive care unit, women’s health, oncology, acute rehabilitation, skilled nursing facility,
pediatrics, geriatric primary care, sports medicine, or dermatology. Compare and contrast the
following: content, features, need, and value of data, information, knowledge, and clinical
decision support that would be required of an FNP in these settings. Make sure that you include
the concept of the four expanding rings of information (EMR, warehouse, regional,
NHIN/PHIN) in your analysis. Describe how your selected clinical areas align with the design or
features of your clinical information system. The paper should adhere to APA writing and
formatting guidelines and be free of spelling and grammatical errors. The page limit is 5-7 pages,
excluding title page and reference page. If appendices are included, they cannot consist of more
than 2 large tables, charts, or figures. Each member of the group is expected to participate.
