This assignment aims to practice using the primary scientific literature to learn more about a topic of interest.

Topic

In Module 1, we learned about prokaryotic cells and how some bacteria use extracellular structures to attach to surfaces and other cells forming a biofilm. The formation of biofilms is known to be associated with certain human diseases.

Tasks

1. Watch a set of videos to learn more about what biofilms are and how they form. The first video, (4:48) was made by the University of Edinburgh. It explains how biofilms form, their advantages to the microbial community, the problems they cause in human and animal hosts, and how they can be used to solve societal problems. The second video, (6:00) includes interviews with biofilm research scientists.
2. Download the review article Vestby, L. K., Grnseth, T., Simm, R., & Nesse, L. L. (2020). . Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 9(2), 59. Since this is a review article, it is considered a secondary scientific resource and is rather lengthy. Read the Abstract and Introduction sections of the paper and examine Table 1. Select a biofilm-associated disease listed in Table 1 that you would like to learn more about.
3. Write a short report that includes the following:
   • “What I Know” summarizing what you currently know about biofilms.
   • “What I Want to Know” identifying which biofilm-associated disease you plan to investigate. Formulate a question you would like to research and list at least three search terms you can use to investigate your selected biofilm-associated disease.
   • “What I Found” providing a link to a primary scientific research article that reports on the biofilm-associated disease you selected. Recall that a primary scientific report is written by the scientist(s) who perform the experiments and will include both a Methods section and a Results section.
   • “What I Learned” reporting, in your own words, on what you learned from the primary scientific research article.
4. Save your report with your name and the name of the assignment, such as “K. Kinkade – Primary Research Report – Biofilms,” and then submit your saved document here.

Grading Criteria

Reports will be graded using the Biofilm-associated Disease Report Rubric below.

Health care informatics professionals are constantly addressing situations that require them to practice leadership by guiding teams and individuals through change in ways that are grounded in vision, guidance, and direction to improve patient care and outcomes. Effective leadership in health informatics is an interactive process that relies on strong communication skills, stewardship, credible expertise, and ethical decision-making. Professionals must act as change agents by envisioning goals, setting priorities, managing change, and making decisions while fostering both leadership and followership within interdisciplinary teams. To be successful, leaders must demonstrate credibility, honesty, competence, and the ability to inspire and motivate others, including developing and renewing followers and future leaders. By collaboratively solving problems, communicating transparently, and building trust, informatics leaders are able to formulate and communicate a compelling vision and engage stakeholders in achieving organizational transformation.

Read the Meridian Health Network Case Study document, located in topic resources. For this assignment, you will play the role of Dr. Alicia Grant, the projects informatics manager. Your goal is to develop and deliver the 20-30 minute project kickoff speech to an audience of organizational stakeholders that will be involved in the change initiative. You will prepare the speech storyboard in StoryboardThat and record the speech through GoReact by using the screen share function.

The project kickoff speech should be designed to explain how you will lead the project and should motivate stakeholders to engage in achieving the shared goal of transitioning to the cloud-based EHR platform. Of utmost importance is modeling leadership that is honest and exhibits professional competence and fairness to build trust and reassure stakeholders that you will lead ethically. The project kickoff storyboard and GoReact video should focus on each of the key aspects listed below.

Vision Setting and Stewardship

• Explain the vision and connect the change to improve patient care, reduce redundancies, and long-term operational efficiency.
• Explain how you will steward the organizational mission while keeping stakeholder needs in the forefront. Include a discussion of how you will ensure transparency relevant to risk, timelines, and expected outcomes.

Prioritization and Decision-Making

• Describe the structured decision frameworks that will be applied to sequence tasks, allocate resources, and communicate rationales for decisions.
• Explain how you will ensure that decisions are fair, ethical, and balanced to best meet the organizational needs and the needs of stakeholders.

Ethical Leadership and Credibility

• Model honesty, professional competence, and fairness.

Change Management Integration

• Implement elements from established change management models to create urgency, form cross-departmental change champions, communicate the vision, reduce barriers, celebrate short-term wins, and reinforce new workflows.

Communication Strategy

• Create a visual that illustrates the communication strategy and includes all key stakeholder roles and specific information to be shared with each. Include the frequency of communication and how delays and needs will be communicated.
• Describe the collaborative problem-solving methods that will be used and how feedback loops will be incorporated for real-time course correction.

Followership and Developing Future Leaders

• Create a visual that illustrates key department champions and explains how they will be involved in the decision-making process, including tasks that will be delegated to each.
• Explain how the change champions will assist with training peers, advocating for workflow needs, and reinforcing the project vision among their teams.

Applying what you have learned from the topic Resources and your own research, create the visuals for your presentation using StoryboardThat, including no more than 15 cells/screens, excluding the title and supporting resource cells/screens. The content should be presented in a conversational way to engage the viewers/listeners as you set the vision for the project and motivate the audience.

In addition to the key content noted above, the Storyboard should also include the following:

• A title for the storyboard.
• An overview of the project.
• Cite a minimum of three supporting resources to support the ideas presented.

When you have finished creating the storyboard, take time to practice your project kickoff speech. Ensure that you are professional in your language, intonation, expression, and speech. When you feel ready to present the speech, record it in GoReact using the screen share feature so both the storyboard and your face are visible.

Remember, video and audio quality are important and should be taken into consideration. Ensure your video is filmed with sufficient lighting and the volume is adequate for viewers to hear. Intonation, expression, proper speech, and professional attire are expected.

In addition to the content listed above, you will be assessed on the following:

• Employing leadership and followership methods, concepts, and tools to motivate others toward accomplishing a health informatics vision.
• Demonstrating leadership behaviors, including vision, communication skills, stewardship, acting as a change agent, and developing and renewing followers and future leaders.
• Articulating goals, setting priorities, employing strategies for managing change, making decisions, and communicating, and serving as a symbol of one who is willing to take risks and has credible expertise, and guide others by motivating other leaders as well as those who will follow.
• Demonstrating credibility, honesty, competence, ability to inspire, and the ability to formulate and communicate a vision.

Support the presentation with a minimum of three scholarly references.

Submit the link to the storyboard in a .pdf in GoReact when making the video. Ensure that others can access and view the link to your storyboard prior to submission.

Solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Overview

In the final project for this course, you will be tasked with making electronic health record (EHR) recommendations for a fictional organization from the provided scenario. You will start by reviewing the organization itself so that you can get a good look into what services it provides to better accommodate its specific needs. Next you will review options for EHRs and make recommendations that you think will work best based on the organizations needs.

Prompt

In this milestone, you will establish key details about the organization you will be assisting as it looks to adopt a new EHR system. These key details will directly inform the next steps in selecting and implementing an EHR system effectively. Next, you will begin to look at considerations that should be taken into account when recommending applications to be used within the EHR.

Scenario

Healthcare organization Alpha is looking at converting from its outdated combination of paper documentation and electronic scheduling systems to a more robust EHR that will be able to accommodate all of its service lines. Alpha is a 150-bed hospital, with five designated intensive care beds. Its emergency department is designated as a level III trauma center. Alpha has designated care areas for: Outpatient surgery Orthopedic surgery Womens health Pediatrics Cardiology The auxiliary service lines consist of: 5 family practice clinics 2 internal medicine clinics 1 cardiology clinic 1 neurology clinic 1 orthopedic and sports medicine clinic 1 eye care clinic 1 womens health clinic 1 pediatric clinic In addition, Alpha provides outpatient rehabilitation services and a community wellness program. Alpha is looking for a solution that will allow it to seamlessly share information between all of its service lines, and yet be user-friendly enough to not alienate its dedicated staff.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Organizations must adapt to shifting demographics, emerging technologies, and increasing expectations for ethical and socially responsible behavior. These forces shape how organizations are structured, how managers make decisions, and how organizations remain effective in a changing environment.

Read the David Rollins summary for an explanation of forces to consider in your own organization.

As we think about leaders and what makes them effective. There’s a number of skills and strengths that they have that help them become effective. One of them is to fully understand a demographic of their organization demographics is a term that refers to the makeup of a group of people the characteristics of a group of people we hear it frequently in politics when we’re talking about the candidate who’s going to get the vote from certain groups of people we hear it.

When we work in an organization when we want to think about how do we build say a benefits package is health insurance? What what is the makeup of our organization? Do we have lots of young young family, you know young people with families and children and it’s important that they have family health care available to them. For example, or we have lots of people that are getting here retirement and they’re more concerned about saving money. So the motivation for them might not be more time off. It might be ways to make more money or vice versa.

So these are things that we need to know we need to understand the technology skills of the people and what we can do to help a group of people if we hadn’t. buildings that were Difficult to get around for people with certain physical conditions.

What could we do about that? So these are all things that we do. We usually define gender demographics as age group race gender. ages and those of key ones that we normally look about but we have to be aware of those now a thing that’s important to Understand also is we can’t get caught up on? When we look at this demographics and you’re doing your research, you’re going to find a lot of demographics about the customers and the target market for the organization and that’s fine. But in this in this particular class, we’re talking about within the organization.

Think of an organization youre familiar with (such as a current or past employer, a place of worship, or a school). Based on your learning, what you know of the organization, and the video above, respond to the following in a minimum of 500 words:

• Briefly describe the organization and its current organizational structure. How well does this structure support the organizations goals in todays changing environment?
• Identify one key demographic trend affecting the organization or its industry. How does this trend influence management decisions or organizational practices?
• Explain 1 way emerging technologies (such as AI or data analytics) are currently transformingor could transformthe organizations operations or structure.
• Identify 2 key benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for the selected organization. Why do you think this is important?
• Explain how the organization could use technology or AI to strengthen CSR efforts and better serve employees, customers, or the community.
