HIM 445 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a presentation covering a process improvement proposal, as well as an internship reflection. The process improvement proposal will require you to compare processes at your internship sites with the EHR Go environment, identify an area of opportunity within the management of the electronic health record (EHR), and propose a process improvement. You will also reflect on your internship experience and how it can be applied to your future professional experiences.

The Final Project includes one milestone, which will be submitted to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The milestone will be submitted in Module Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

HIM-445-01: Articulate the impact of knowledge and experience gained through an internship on achieving professional goals

HIM-445-02: Apply theoretical knowledge and program competencies for developing recommended solutions to practical, real- world, health information management problems

HIM-445-03: Communicate ideas, suggestions, or relevant information in a professional manner appropriate for the healthcare industry

HIM-445-04: Critique distinctions between theoretical concepts and real-world practices in professional settings

In the final project, you will create a presentation outlining the process improvement proposal, as well as a reflection of your internship experience. Present the information in the process improvement and internship reflection sections in a professional manner appropriate for the healthcare industry.

Create a PowerPoint-style presentation, using the provided template (if desired), that addresses the following critical elements:

I. Process Improvement

Evaluate the key EHR management methods used within your internship environment. Explain what works well and what needsimprovement. [HIM-445-01]
