Assessment Task
In Assessment 2, you will critically analyse digital health management and health information management requirements in a healthcare setting, so as to recommend improvements. This analytical report should contain 2,000 words, excluding references.
DHI451_Assessment_#2_Brief_Evaluation Report_Module 8 Page 2 of 9
Context
This assessment aims to test your understanding of digital health management and health information flows within a health information system (HIS) from a health practitioner perspective. You will need to analyse the existing health information management system and digital tools that are being used in a healthcare facility, based on the case scenario provided.
The analytical skills and knowledge from this assessment will be transferable and useful in your future professional practice where you will need to analyse workflows and data flows, and propose relevant improvements for various stakeholders (i.e., managers, colleagues, patients).
Instructions
Background
You are a digital health management consultant in Australia, who has been engaged by a healthcare organisation to help them improve their current HIS and digital healthcare management practices. You need to provide the health facility with a report that:
• outlines the key areas of concern in their current systems and practices
• proposes recommendations.
The report should contain the following sections:
Section 1 – Introduction (100 words)
• Provide a brief introduction about the health facility based on your understanding of the case scenario and making reasonable assumptions, contextualising any Australian location.
Section 2 – Flowchart and Analysis of Health Information System (HIS) (500 words)
• You will create a visual flowchart that outlines the key stages of patient journey management. The flowchart should detail each of the stages based on the scenario.
Consider the following:
• How is health data collected?
• What health data elements are being collected at each stage?
• Which roles (individuals/groups) are involved in data generation, collection, processing and storage?
• Who are the users of the system?
• What are the sources of data?
• Who receives the health data generated?
• How is data privacy preserved in the current system?
• How is health data used/processed? Who are the individuals involved in this step?
• How is health data stored?
DHI451_Assessment_#2_Brief_Evaluation Report_Module 8 Page 3 of 9
• How is health data shared? Who has access to patient health information?
• What digital management tools are used to support the facility?
Section 3 – Gap Analysis (500 words)
In this section, report on the limitation and gaps within the current HIS. Consider the following:
• Privacy and security
• Data accuracy and timeliness
• Duplication of processes
• Data-sharing limitations
• Ease of use for users
Section 4 – Digital Health System Recommendations (500 words)
Recommend improvements to the overall HIS and digital health management practices to address the gaps that you identified. Consider the following:
• What is the role of users and health workers in facilitating the improvement? Hint: Focus on user participation and health worker involvement.
• What are the implications for integrating the facility into the Australian MyHealthRecord (myHR)? Hint: Focus on interoperability.
• What information from the HIS will flow into myHR and what are the implications? Hint: Focus on the privacy of health information.
Section 5 – Limitations, Risks and Conclusions (400 words)
• Describe the limitations of your recommendations, as well as potential risks in them. How would you minimise or alleviate the risks? Recommend steps. What other digital health solutions can you recommend in this scenario?
