Course Project: Health Information Exchange
Objective
? Define HIE
? List Dilemma
? Address Challenge
? Discuss the History of HIE
Guidelines:
Papers must 7 to 10 pages in length (this would be roughly 1 page per area included in the report), 12 point font, double-spaced, include a cover page, table of contents, introduction, body of the report, summary or conclusion and works cited.
Even though this is not a scientific-type writing assignment, and is mostly creative in nature, references are still very important. At least 6 authoritative, outside references are required (anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable). These should be listed on the last page titled “Works Cited”.
The completed written project paper, focused on Health Information Exchange by outlining the history of U.S. based attempts at getting HIE among providers, is due this week. Your paper can be based on interviews with those involved in HIE, readings or Internet research or a combination of all three. Be sure that your paper addresses the following areas:
? Outline US history of HIE
? Benefits of HIE (underlying the justification for HIE)
? Ways that privacy and security concerns are addressed
? Current challenges and ways to overcome them
The paper should be approximately 7-10 typed pages in length, double-spaced, using 10 or 12 point font (APA Format). The page count does not include your cover page or references page. You must include a references page, citing your references in APA style.
As part of the course project, you must post a brief PowerPoint presentation to the class reviewing a highlight of your project findings.
