Knowledge Management

In the health care field the acquisition of knowledge is important to improve patient care. The process of identifying, managing, and sharing this information is called knowledge management. For this assignment, read the Health Informatics: A Systems Perspective, Chapter 8 Case Study on pages 172-174, and create a strategy to leverage the knowledge base of the practice against the value of knowledge within the developing accountable care organization (ACO), Health Information Exchange (HIE), and Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). In your paper:

• Differentiate between the role of an HIE and a RHIO.
• What are the implications of collaborating with an HIE and RHIO?
• Create a policy on who can access knowledge generated by the practice and how would it be used.
• Assess each of the five quality domains specified by the ACO mandate, and justify their inclusion or exclusion. What are the implications of each on the structure of the clinical process and on the information system that supports the process?
• Compare and contrast the differences between explicit, expressed, implicit, latent and tacit knowledge. What is the importance of each one?
• Distinguish between the two organizations in your response.

Your Paper:

• Must be a minimum of two to three, double-spaced pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Include a title page with the following:
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
• Address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
• Use at least three scholarly sources (excluding the textbook), two of which are from the Ashford University Library.
• All sources should be listed in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

A-Create a slide that includes answers to the questions below and any graphics you feel would make the slide more eye-catching. You are required to submit a single slide, but you may create additional slides if you wish.

1. How does understanding the science behind the topic and research you have chosen benefit you? What is the advantage to you, and potentially those around you, of understanding the science behind the issue?
2. How might finding the answer to the specific question you posed in the question development worksheet in Project 2 affect others around you?

B- Based on what you have learned and the article “The 50 Greatest Breakthroughs Since the Wheel” that you read earlier, answer the following question:

1. What importance does the topic of your news story and the question that you developed in Project 2 have to you and to society as a whole?

Think of a personal example of mediated communication. For our purposes it cannot be a face-to-face conversation. It MUST be mediated through an electronic channel (text, phone call, social media, etc.). The best example will be a short conversation (when typed out the conversation should be about 10-20 lines back and forth) between you and another person that you know. Feel free to change all names for purposes of anonymity. If you have an electronic version of the conversation you can access feel free to copy/paste or screenshot into a form like the one below. If you do not have a transcript you should type the conversation in this way:

• Person A: (type what was said…)
• Person B: (type what was said…)
  • Continue in this fashion until conversation is over. Feel free to include emojis, pictures, or anything else relevant to understand the exchange.

1. Use the communication model to explain the meaning in this conversation. Look beyond the messages to the channel, potential noise, encoding and decoding, and any relevant aspects of context. (250-350 words)
2. Analyze this conversation using our discussion of technological factors that influence mediated communication AND affordances. This part of your analysis will focus primarily on the people involved and the technology used. (250-350 words)
3. Discuss the perception process surrounding this conversation. Include as many parts of the perception process as are relevant. (250-350 words)
4. Use at least two different theories we have learned about to talk about how you understood this conversation. Tell me about the theory (in your own words) then tell me how the theory impacted your understanding of what was happening. (250-350 words)
   1. This section could include many different things given the theories we have learned about so far. For example, you might talk about deception, cues, richness, social context, social presence, privacy, etc.

Formatting

1. Please include a word count at the bottom of each question and BOLD any course terms or concepts.

For this assignment you are telling a story about a significant personal experience and new awareness about yourself and life.

your emphasis should be on telling your story and describing the significant impact of the experience. Your argument (main claim) should allude to a “new awareness” that you want your reader to gain from reading your essay. Your purpose should be to get your reader to learn about or see life or your subject in a new way.
[[See the following two links for examples of personal narrative essays:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carla-seaquist/sputn…
http://www.youbeauty.com/health/columns/everyday-w… ]]
Begin with a general commentary on the scenario with which you will develop your narrative. If you choose to incorporate references to Rich, introduce her essay and her definition of the term “personal Sputnik moment” at a coherent and relevant point. Your development strategy should combine narration and reflection to transform your experience into a significant awareness to show your reader a new way to see the experience. The event does not have to be “dramatic,” “traumatizing,” “unusual,” or even “exciting” to have significance. A single moment in time when you had a realization or saw something or someone in a new way, for example, can have extraordinary significance.
Your description of the event should indicate or imply what your life (or attitude/experience/etc.) was like before the event, should detail the event specifically, and should indicate the significance of the experience, and/or what can be learned from it. Your “new view” may be implied or stated directly (this is a choice you will make in your writing). Write for an audience of your peers (SDSU juniors and seniors)
