The Internet is changing the technology used in health care. Medicine is becoming more commonly practiced through a wide range of telehealth options, and consumers are now far more computer savvy than at any time in the past, using the Internet to self-research symptoms or diseases, as well as seek out medical professionals or advice. Administrators must be aware of the direction in which health care is moving and be aware of both current and upcoming technology and information system advancements. For this Medical Essay , you will be researching the next major Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) evolution. The Medical Essay begins with the selection of a topic of what you identify as “the next big thing” that you expect to see in health care regarding HMIS. After making your topic selection, compose a 1,000 word paper to include the following: Describe your HMIS topic and support the selection with applicable research. Identify the potential advantages and limitations of the selected HMIS topic in relation to advantages and/or limitations for, or other impacts on, the consumer. Explain how this HMIS topic will impact the concept of “digital equity.” Discuss the delivery of quality health care through this new HMIS. From an administrator perspective, describe when, how, and where this HMIS will first be seen. From an administrator perspective, describe how this HMIS will impact your organization. You are required to use two qualified references in addition to your textbook for this paper. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Congratulations! You’ve established a colony and so far it seems successful – at least you avoided the fate of Roanoke. But changes are coming. Your population is getting stronger, and bigger. And there’s a nasty trend brewing – the King is starting to act like you are part of England, and controllable by him and Parliament. You can’t really fight him on this – he is the king, but it is unsettling nonetheless. And there are new ideas appearing from Europe called Humanism or the Enlightenment. Surely this will not bode well. But you have bigger fish to fry so speak, your colony is in danger! Something supernatural has attacked (or appears to be attacking) your colony and how you handle it could mean big changes… What supernatural being attacked your colony? (ie: werewolves, witches, vampires, zombies, evil mermaids, ghosts, etc.) How did your colony discover this threat? What happened to the victims? How rapidly did it spread? How did you determine who the creature was – or who was helping it? How did you punish the creature or those who helped it? Did your punishment stop the attacks? If not, how did the attacks end? What changes did this shocking reign of terror bring to the colony (government, social, religious)? How did the government structure of the colony change? If it didn’t, why not? How did society change after these attacks? If it didn’t, why not? Were more people moved to join a religion after this event, or did they turn away from it? How did the day to day lives of people in your colony change? (ie were people more involved in the community, or was there more distance? Were they more involved in government or the church?) These events occurred at the same time as the Enlightenment came to the American colonies – did the arguments of the philosophes there influence either the treatment of the creatures or the way people lived afterwards? Why or why not?

This Expository Essay is due in Week 2 of the course. Scholars conclude that what we ordinarily call religion manifests to some degree the following eight elements: 1) a belief system; 2) community; 3) central myths; 4) rituals; 5) an ethical system; 6) emotional experiences; 7) material expressions of religion; and 8) sacredness. Examine to what extent your religious beliefs fall into this pattern. Do some elements have more weight than others? If you do not have a belief system, interview someone who does and examine their belief system. Provide enough details to support your answer. Then examine one of the “new religions” or alternative paths that are seen in today’s world and apply the same analysis to their beliefs. Do some elements have more weight than others? Are some totally absent? Provide enough details to support your answer. Please limit your analysis to no more than three elements for each section. New Religious Movements: Scientology, Falun Gong, Cao Dai, Wicca and Druidism, the Yoruba Tradition (Santería, Voodoo, and Candomblé), Rastafarianism, etc. Feel free to choose among one of these alternatives or another approved by your instructor. This essay should be 3 pages in length (1050 words). [Note the addition of word count to clarify how long the paper should be if formatted properly in APA.]

Final Research Prospectus/Abstract This is your last research prospectus. By now you know what I want. We’ve spoken about your paper and now you are finishing up the final draft this week. Write your final research prospectus and submit it in the Research Prospectus Assignment #6. This time give me your research question and a 300 word abstract of your final paper. This will be due during finals week. An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject or discipline, and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper’s purpose. When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript, acting as the point-of-entry for any given research or scientific paper. For the APA style of documentation a shorter abstract is required for most papers, thus, if you are doing APA you must include a prospectus in your final paper. However, if your abstract is well-written here, you may also use if for your final paper. An abstract is not required for MLA papers; nevertheless, to get the experience you are only going to write an abstract that will appear here in this final research prospectus.
