Read the following case study:
A small community hospital in the Midwest has used a homegrown information system for years. The system began in the early 1970s with a financial module. Over time, additional modules were added. A limited number of departments selected a commercial system and interfaces were used to integrate these into the overall functionality of the hospital information system. Except for physicians, most in-house clinical or care-related documentation is online. However, about 15% to 20% of this documentation is done by free text and is not effectively searchable. In addition, the screens, including the drop-down and default values, were built using terms selected by the in-house development team in consultation with clinical staff; thus there is no data dictionary or specific standard language. In the last few years, the hospital has purchased two outpatient clinics (obstetrics and mental health) and a number of local doctor practices. The clinics and doctors’ offices are now being converted to the hospital administrative systems. A few of the clinical applications that are tied directly to the administrative systems such as order entry and results reporting are also being installed.
A major change is being planned. A new chief information officer (CIO) was hired last year and she has appointed a chief medical information officer (CMIO) and a chief nursing information officer (CNIO). No other significant staff changes were made. With her team in place, one of the CIO’s first activities was to complete an inventory of all applications. Rather than continue to build, a decision was made to switch to a commercial vendor and the hospital selected a commercial system.
As a member of the clinical staff with informatics education, the CIO has requested that you develop a training and information presentation for the clinical staff that will:

Submit an essay discussing your career objectives and why you want to pursue a career in education
Explicate the design and method in ONE example of qualitative or mixed method social research, focusing on the relationship between epistemology, theory and empirical procedures.
Format:
An ‘explication de texte’ of 1500 words using the text of a research journal article in your field of study. It will be a review and evaluation essay that makes explicit the research design principles and methods of your chosen article. The exercise will test your understanding of the research process and your ability to identify the underlying assumptions, the structure of the argument, the use of evidence and specific analytical techniques in the reported study. It is not intended to be a generalized critique of qualitative method.
Source:
You will choose a source (an article in a peer-reviewed research journal) which uses qualitative empirical research and has a sufficient amount of depth and detail on methods. You may select a source either from the list of examples provided on Blackboard or any area of research in social sciences, but you are recommended to choose one from your own particular areas of interest. You may ask for feedback on your choice before you start writing.
Assessment criteria:
The purpose of this assessment is diagnostic and developmental. The feedback should help you to monitor your understanding of research process and meaning, and enhance your reflexive awareness of method. A good assignment will display evidence of close reading and the ability to identify and evaluate the assumptions being made by a researcher in carrying out and writing up a piece of social research.
