Create the data flow map for Medical Records IT process using MS Visio. A data flow map is a visual diagram of the processes and the data that flows between them. For your data flow map, make sure to show the tasks in the process, and how data is generated and moves throughout the process. Display this data flow map along side the process map that I have previously developed (I will attach the process map)
In addition to creating a data flow map, include a discussion with the following components:
1) Describe how the data obtained serves an organizational purpose (how can the information obtained from this workflow serve an organizational need). Identify if the data obtained is quantitative or qualitative in nature, and the importance of that (example: for a clinic visit a patient’s heart rate is quantitative, but their pain level could be qualitative; copayment is quantitative and opinion if they received the desired appointment time is qualitative).
2) To better understand the process through the lens of how the data flows through it, describe how you would obtain baseline data about the process itself to analyze how the process is achieving what it is intended to achieve?
3)Identify the type of report you could use that baseline data for (cost-benefits analysis, benefits realization study, performance based request for proposal). You should include a discussion on how the data obtained in the workflow process could help you create a benefits realization study, return on investment analysis, cost benefit analysis, and/or performance based request for proposal.
4) Consider the cognitive workload that takes place at data flows through the process, and comment on the socio-technical influence on how this affects tasks completion based on data flow (or inefficient data flow). .
5) Discuss how you could use this data to support redesigning a process. Discuss what would you measure, and why?
6) Identify how understanding the data in the process allows you to identify quality, safety, or performance concerns/risks.
Step by step instructions
Create a data flow map with proper annotation that shows process tasks, generation of data, using MS Visio –
Describe the data obtained as quantitative or qualitative, why obtaining it is valuable to the organization.
Illustrate that you understand workflow processes and the data it generates by describing the method you would use to insure that the data actually captured is what was intended to be captured, and is the data you need in that process.
Consider the cognitive workload that takes place at data flows through the process, and comment on the socio-technical influence on how this affects tasks completion based on data flow (or inefficient data flow).
Choose a use for the data as part of a benefits realization study, return on investment analysis, cost benefit analysis, and/or performance based request for proposal, and discuss how you would use it for one of those purposes.
Discuss how you could use this data to support redesigning a process. Discuss what would you measure, and why?
Identify how understanding the data in the process allows you to identify quality, safety, or performance concerns/risks.
Proofread for grammar, spelling, clear sentence structure, APA style, and appropriate citations.
