Project 1 Introduction and Overview
The INS will prepare a report addressing the following (Douglas & Celli, 2015, pp. 169-171). The report should include an introduction and conclusion. The introduction should include a thesis/purpose statement. The introduction should be 100-150 words. The conclusion should be 100-150 words. Each question should be addressed and identified in the manuscript as a heading. The report should be supported by in the text references and a reference list. A minimum of 5 references.
The following information will be used to complete Project 1
Health Care System ABC (HCSABC) is planning to expand its telehealth program. Currently HCSABC holds the largest market share in the Gulf Coast Region. The telehealth program includes telephone triage, audio video services, connectivity with electronic consumer devices such as electronic scales and wearable devices, as well as connectivity with electronic medical devices such as wearable EKG monitors, glucose monitors, insulin pumps, infusion pumps, medication monitoring, and blood pressure devices.
The expansion of the telehealth program is to implement care robots. The care robots would be assigned to pregnant women on bedrest. Priority would be given to families without in the home around the clock support from family or friends. The care robot would be expected to check the patient’s blood pressure and report the finding to the healthcare provider.
The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), Director of Women’s Health, and Chief Nursing Informatics Officer (CNIO) are the senior leadership for the implementation of the care robots. The Informatics Nurse Specialist (INS) is designated as the project manager to investigate the feasibility of the implementation of the care robots. The Health Informatics Department, Network Security, and Health IT will be involved in the care robot project.
The INS will prepare a report addressing the following (Douglas & Celli, 2015, pp. 169-171). The report should include an introduction and conclusion. Each question should be addressed and identified in the manuscript as a heading. The introduction should be 100-150 words. The introduction should include a purpose of the project. The introduction should inform the reader as to how the report is organized. The conclusion should be 100-150 words. The conclusion should key points of the project. Review the OWL website regarding how to draft an introduction and conclusion.
The report should be supported by in the text references and a reference list. A minimum of 5 references.
- Introduction – 100-150 words.
- What is the real problem to be solved and the goal to be met,
- What is the current state and what is the future state? Use the phrases current state and future state. 100-150 words
- What are the technical requirements/needs? For example, what are the physical requirements for space, electrical needs, network requirements, Internet requirements, floor surface, hardware and software, interface application? What robot(s) currently on the market or in prototype would be most likely to fit the technical specifications? 150-300 words. Inform the reader why the figure is included. The following figure must be used to organize the content. Add more rows as needed. For example
| Feature/Functionality | Requirement | Comment and Reference |
| Height | ||
| Width | ||
| Battery | ||
- What are the measurable criteria for determining project success? 100-150 words
- What are the known limitations and risks to the project? 100-150 words
- What are risks to privacy and security, what is the influence of HIPAA? 100-150 words
- What is the timeline of implementation? (Need to draw a timeline). A timeline is not a table, it is a graphic. Inform the reader why the timeline is included. The timeline is implementation of the project, not the development of the robot.
- Who will be committed to implementing the project? 100-150 words
- What are the estimated costs in dollars? (Must include a simulated budget)
For example, organize the budget in a figure/table format. Inform the reader why the budget is included.
| Materials and Systems | Cost per Care Robot |
| Total Budget | $ |
- Using the budget, what is the justification for the project, including the relationship between cost and benefits? 100-150 words
- What is the workflow for the care robot to check the pregnant woman’s blood pressure and report the finding to the healthcare provider? Depict the workflow using a swim lane diagram. Must create and submit a swim lane diagram. Inform the reader why the swim lane diagram is included. Label as a figure.
Review http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/opi/qi/toolbox/swimlane.html or http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/opi/qi/toolbox/swimlane.html for more information regarding development of swim lanes
- Each question should be addressed and identified in the manuscript as a heading. The heading should be a succinct statement. The report should be supported by in the text references and a reference list. A minimum of 5 references.
