Current-State Workflow Analysis: Discuss successes and challenges in completing the design and development of a DBMS

Directions
DATA MODELING & DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Competency 7049.1.4:
Informatics Projects –
The graduate designs clinically relevant and user-focused informatics projects using informatics systems theory, information processing theory and national taxonomies to support safe, high quality patient outcomes.
Task 1:
Current-State Workflow Analysis
Introduction:
In this task, you will showcase your ability to diagram and analyze a current-state data workflow using standard diagramming techniques. To create your workflow analysis, you will need to access Microsoft Visio using the virtual lab within unit 1.7 of your course. You can also access this lab below with the “Unit 1.7 Virtual Lab: Access and VISIO 2016” link in the web link section below. For additional information on completing a workflow analysis, visit the “Workflow Analysis References” web link.
Scenario:
For this assessment, you will use system-generated time data that have been aggregated and presented as mean times for major steps in the workflow process. These mean times are specifically for patients triaged as ESI Level 3, meaning patients designated as “urgent stable.” For more information on emergency severity index (ESI) levels, please visit the “ESI Levels” link in the web links section.
Using the mean times from the “Workflow Observations on ESI Level 3 Patients” attachment, create a basic or cross-functional workflow diagram in Microsoft Visio and include an interpretation of the diagram in a caption or on a separate page.
A. Diagram a detailed flowchart of the mean times in the “Workflow Observations on ESI Level 3 Patients” attachment using standard flowchart symbols. Ensure your diagram meets the following criteria:
• Apply appropriate shapes for each workflow step.
• Connect shapes using dynamic or auto connectors.
• Label each connector with the number of patients and the mean time between steps (e.g., N = 5, M = 21.4 minutes).
• When the workflow shape indicates a decision, diagram the options and flow changes that this decision generates.
• If you use a cross-functional diagram, include ED worker type swim lanes to designate steps in the process performed by the ED worker.
B. Briefly explain each aspect of the flowchart for hospital administrators and other stakeholders in a caption or on a separate page.
1. Identify three of the weakest areas of flow (i.e., bottlenecks or inefficiencies) and explain how you would improve one of the weak areas reduce throughput time.
C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
D. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
 

1. Discuss successes and challenges in completing the design and development of a DBMS.

2. Explain how your thinking regarding data modeling and database management systems evolved over time while working on this assessment.

3. Explain how the knowledge and skills you have acquired during this course inform the roles and responsibilities of a nurse informaticist in a work setting.

4. Embed a screen shot of your ERD.

5. Embed a screen shot of the Mircosoft Access form you created in your DBMS.

C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

D. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Government Essay

We understand politics and government through the lenses we have developed over our lifetime. These lenses are framed by the  agents of socialization that have had the greatest impact on us. For this Essay, I’d like you to read sections 1.1 through 7.1 of the Political Culture chapter of Texas Politics (in Assigned Readings) and think about where you came from and how you have been raised to understand politics and government.
In the first part of this reflective essay, I’d like you to respond to the following prompts:
· Are you a native Texan or have you arrived in Texas from another place? What is your immigrant background?
· Were you raised in a household where politics and government were discussed? Was the tone of the discussions positive or negative about the role of government and politicians in society? Who was most influential in shaping your political beliefs?
· Do you have a lot of confidence in the ethics of privately owned businesses? If so, why? If not, why not?
· Do you have a lot of confidence in the operation of public (government) programs? If so, why? if not, why not?
· When it comes to politics, do you consider yourself liberal, conservative, or something else? Why? How do you know this about yourself? If you are unsure, take the Political Typology Quiz to find out: http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
· Now that you have examined federalism in Texas and the Texas Constitution, do you think the concept of political culture helps us understand better the practice of Texas politics? Why or why not?

In the second part of this essay, I’d like you to read an article you may find at this link: http://urbanedge.blogs.rice.edu/2016/04/25/as-inequality-rises-so-does-support-for-government-action/#.WWElfxPys1g (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
· The final paragraph of your discussion response must include your takeaway from the article. Generally, do you or do you not support government action to reduce rising inequalities that are found in localities like Houston? What is the basis of your response?
I want to assess your understanding of the assigned readings in Module 1, so you must write in your own words (no quotes, no paraphrases, no copy/paste from websites, etc.). To earn full points you must demonstrate your understanding by responding to the prompts in a well-written essay of at least 270 words (that’s about a page double-spaced in 12-point font). Please use spell/grammar check (I like www.Grammarly.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) or take advantage of free writing help through HCC’s Upswing (hccs.upswing.io (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Writing well takes time and practice; I encourage you to give yourself the time needed to practice (i.e., write in drafts) and do well.

You must provide at least one reference cited in APA format at the bottom of your first post.
You cannot receive full credit for number of postings if your contributions were insignificant, without reasoning, or showed little effort. Answer the following questions in your discussion.

  1. In designing a benefits plan, what are the most important considerations for an employer?
  2. Employers are finding it more difficult to support health insurance coverage as a benefit, as it has become more costly than the tax savings for offering it.  Is employer-based health insurance on its way out, and if so, is it more or less practical to maintain it as a benefit in a healthcare organization?
