1. Discuss the purpose of testing and testing strategy.
2. Evaluate various testing methodologies and describe which one would best fit your practicum project.
3. Plan how to develop a testing scenario.
4. Differentiate the terms “test item” vs. “test condition” in software testing.
5. Articulate how the test results are documented and issues are mitigated.

Logic Model

Create a logic model that describes the key components of your chosen program.
Then, choose one outcome that is presented in your logic model and describe how you would suggest measuring that outcome in a population, with attention to maximizing reliability and validity. Any support you can provide as to why your suggested measure should be expected to be reliable and valid (e.g., cite previous research that has used, or better yet tested, the measure).

Watch the Fred Lee TEDTalk. Consider the idea that the “value of experience” is used as patient satisfaction in the healthcare delivery system, as the driving force of business growth and adaptation to change. Do you agree or disagree with that premise? Why? Use supporting evidence to back your claim. Given what you’ve learned thus far in class (about Patient Experience and about Healthcare Leadership) what options do healthcare leaders have to best leverage the patient experience/patient satisfaction continuum? Think critically and answer as such.

Health Information Technology (HIT) Feasibility and Implementation

1. Watch the video on SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) steps – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmrGZSGK1k ).

2. Analyze the SDLC process explained in the video. Evaluate its application to the development of Healthcare Management Information Systems (HMIS)/Healthcare Information Systems (HIS)? Explain which of the step(s) can be omitted if an organization does not maintain internal IT staff (Hint: Feasibility Study slide). How would this step of the SDLC process be completed without affecting the integrity of the HMIS/HIS? Justify the cyclic nature of the SDLC process. This potion of the assignment could be presented in tabular format.

3. Considering all you researched so far, develop a guide for a local healthcare facility for implementation of a Healthcare Management Information System (HMIS). It should cover differentiation among three terms – project management, program management, and portfolio management.

4. Define and analyze the five project management processes in terms of applicability to HMIS implementation needs. Locate and evaluate at least two project management tools and compare their metrics for monitoring the project progress.

5. Explain how would you keep Scope Creep at a minimum during the project implementation? The presentation should not be more than 5-7 min. The PowerPoint visual aid must have notes and be submitted along with the video.
