- In examining data sources and determining data quality the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (ARQH) has identified data from five clinical, administrative and patient sources (www.ahrq.gov/professionals/atient soquality-patient-safety/talkingquality/create/understand.html.)
What are the key attributes of these data sources? Develop a table (matrix) that compares them in terms of source, type of measure, quality issues, and how they can be used for process and outcome measurements.
- The future of healthcare will be shaped by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, mHealth, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, Genomics/Personalized Medicine, and others informatics-based solutions discussed in class. The current assumption is that much of the change in care delivery is going to come via clinical decision support (CDS) by providing information to providers at the point of care through the EHR. Does that seem accurate? What about the role of consumer engagement? Describe what you think healthcare delivery will look like in 10 years and how will the role of the nursing change? What about your professional role?
