Evaluation Methodology Plan

by


nursing ASSIGNMENT

 

The “why,” “who,” “when,” “what,” and “how” of HIT and informatics systems are the threads that are woven throughout the evaluation plan. They help formulate viewpoints and guide goals. Answers to these questions help ensure positive effects of health information technology and systems on outcomes.

For this Assignment, you reflect on viewpoints and the answers to key questions about perspective as they relate to your proposed HIT evaluation plan. You then describe the evaluation methodology plan you would use to evaluate your case study.

To prepare:

  • Consider the goal and viewpoint you developed for your Evaluation Plan Project.
  • Reflect on the types of information you would need to fulfill the goal. Think about the “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” and “how” of your evaluation. This is where you determine the specific details of your evaluation, such as the number of people involved, the time frame for conducting the evaluation, the types of information you hope to gather, and how you will obtain the data.

In a 2- to 3-page paper, describe the evaluation methodology plan you would use to evaluate your case study. Be sure to address the following:

  • Specify which research design, information sources, and data collection methods you would use.
  • Identify the types of analyses you would perform on the gathered data.
  • Provide a list of the stakeholders in your selected case study.
  • Justify your selections.
  • Write a paragraph describing the key components of your evaluation—the “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” and “how” of your evaluation.
  • Explain how you would measure success in your evaluation. Be specific.
  • Explain how you would summarize your results. Be specific.
