Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to
Familiarize the student with the concept of workflow,
Identify potential workflow issues that have implications for the practice of nursing informatics
Acquaint the student with the concept of “stakeholder” in information system design.
Map current and proposed information workflow using flowchart diagrams.
Due Date: Submit to the Dropbox basket by Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week 1.
Students are given the opportunity to request an extension on assignments for emergent situations. Supporting documentation must be submitted to the assigned faculty. If the student’s request is not approved, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:
Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction
Tuesday = 20% of total possible point reduction
Wednesday = 30% of total possible point reduction
If the student’s request is approved, the student will be informed of the revised due date. Should the student fail to meet the revised due date, the assignment is graded and a late penalty is applied as follows:
Monday = 10% of total possible point reduction
Tuesday = 20% of total possible point reduction
Wednesday = 30% of total possible point reduction
Total Points Possible: 125 points

Requirements
Descriiption of the Assignment
This assignment requires the student to examine an information workflow ideally from their current work environment. If the student is not currently employed they can discuss alternatives with their faculty for approval. Some examples of information workflow might include, but are not limited to, the following:
allergy information;
advance directives;
organ donor status;
past medical history details;
past surgical history details;
medications;
use of vitamins and/or supplements;
functional living status;
list of providers;
Insurance claims processing;
Antibiotic resistant infection status
Other as identified by student (subject to faculty approval)
Directions
Map a particular piece of information from its collection and use throughout your organization. Identify what information you have chosen. Include verbal, written, and physical practices (e.g., how information is acquired, stored, distributed, and discarded). Map information workflow using a diagram. The diagram may be drawn using business process modeling notation figures available in Word, Visio, or other software. This assignment should be include a cover sheet, a one page explanation of the chosen workflow and rationale for its selection and a detailed map of current information workflow.
Preparing the Assignment
Required texts may be used as additional references.
The paper includes a coversheet, one-page descriiption of the selected information workflow that includes the organization represented, rationale for selection and two actual or potential issues identified in the process of mapping the current information workflow, and a map of the current and proposed information workflow to improve safety/efficiency
Workflow maps must represent original work of the submitting student.
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and citations are consistent with formal academic writing.
References are not required for this assignment but appropriate credit should be given for the ideas and work of others when used.
