FINAL PROJECT OVERALL ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Health Informatics is an applied field of study incorporating theories from information science; computer science; the science for the specific discipline, such as medicine, nursing, or pharmacy; and the wide range of sciences used in the healthcare delivery. As a result, health informatics specialists draw on a wide range of theories to guide their practice.
INSTRUCTIONS
You are to submit a final research paper focused on a selected topic below. This paper is to be reflective of a master’s level academic research paper and will be assembled throughout the course by producing several deliverables:
 Module 3: Week 3: Annotated Bibliography
 Module 4: Week 4: Outline
 Module 5: Week 5: Final Paper publish
 Module 7: Week 7: Final Paper Submission
Please choose one of the following four (4) major theoretical approaches as the main topic of your final paper and relate it to a current topic (practices, policies, and/or regulations) in healthcare informatics1:
1. Systems Theory
• Characteristics of Systems
 Resistance to Change
• Systems and the Change process
 Function vs purpose
 GIGO
 Entropy – the need to be replaced/wears out and negentropy – more complex, how IS systems grow
2. Information Theory
• Shannon and Weaver Information-Communication Model
 Levels of communication
• Blum’s Model Wisdom added (Review data, information, and knowledge)
• Graves Model
• Nelson Model
3. Learning Theories
• Behavioral Theories
• Information Processing, or Cognitive Learning, Theories
• Adult Learning Theories
• Learning Styles
4. Change Theories
• Planned Change
• Diffusion of Innovation
• Using Change Theories
 Change Management
• Put stages on board – and explain how it works in real life
 Knowledge stage
 Persuasion Stage
 Decision Stage
 Modification Stage
 Confirmation Stage
1 Paper topic must be approved by the instructor before you begin working on researching the topic.
This is what is going on:
I foolishly did not read the instructions for the research paper that are only in the week 7 coursework. I am in week 5. I chose my own topic for this course. I then received feedback after turning in my outline and annotated bibliography which stated that it did not include any sort of theory application. I want to use the systems theory since it most closely aligns with what I have already researched. However, since I basically did the initial research and assignments with incorrect information, I would now have to do all new research and in a short amount of time. Any help that you can give. Thank you.
