Each part must use two references**** Part 1: • Discuss the benefits and challenges of simulation technology as a technology trend. • Given future directional trends in informatics, predictive analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), select a trend that you view to be most important to our society today. Provide a rationale for your choice. • Analyze the Health Information Technology Governance. Discuss how an organizational leader in health care and/or health and human services would use these activities to prioritize informatics projects related to implementing an informatics trend of choice. Part 2: “At your Level 2 trauma center, an unplanned EHR downtime occurs at 17:00 on a Tuesday. After 1 hour of troubleshooting and working with the vendor’s help desk, the IT team attempts a system reboot, which is unsuccessful. The vendor is in a different time zone, so specialists have to be called in from home to respond to this incident. The initial assessment is that the downtime is due to database corruption and the system will have to be recovered from backup systems. Unfortunately, the system is not configured with high availability techniques, nor is it redundant. The IT department estimates that it will take 8 hours to recover the system, for a total down-time of 10 hours” case study analysis must include: • A minimum of 20 data elements which comprise a data dictionary outlining the following fields for each data element (your data elements should equate to those of 20 typical PHI elements): o Data field name o Field format (alpha, numeric or alpha numeric) o Number of characters in the field o Source of information o Example of the content • A memorandum to the end users written as though you were the IT Department in the case. You will write a Memo about the system being down describing why the system is down, how long, why, what areas are affected, what is being done, etc. • A picture that plots the downtime components discussed in the case (this is the Downtime Determinator Plot where you will draw the plot like that in your textbook denoting the planned vs unplanned stages of the downtime of the ER Department. Give the information on your plots as listed below): o Time of day/number of users o IT infrastructure affected o System criticality o Planned versus unplanned o Health system complexity o Communication: Amount required and are communication methods affected? o Ability to recover
