Important information for writing discussion questions and participation
Welcome to class
Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

❖ Phase 1: Preparing for CPE and Project Report | |||
Meet with your preceptor or SME to review the requirements for your CPE. Strategically plan the tasks and timeline needed to complete your CPE. You should collaborate with interprofessional members of your Project Team, preceptor or SME, and faculty to design project reports by identifying the data that will need to be collected to determine the success or your HIP.
Consult with Project Team members, preceptor or SME, and faculty to design reports that will be used to evaluate the success of your HIP. Identify the essential data that would need to be collected during implementation of your HIP. This should include a minimum of three key data elements. Data elements are the fields of information you will have on your report. For example: Name, Address, Age, or Unique ID, and data relevant to your project. Discuss the best way to present the results (e.g., formal reports, system-generated reports, dashboards, etc.). Identify the person who will be responsible for creating and running the project reports. The reports should include the target metrics and measures that will be used to evaluate your HIP.
Discuss your plan for project reports with your preceptor or SME. Create a 5- to 10-minute video that discusses the plan for your project reports. After recording your video and posting it for review, watch two of your peers’ videos and provide them encouraging and constructive feedback. Finally, capture a screenshot of your video and screenshots showing you responded to two of your peers’ videos.

❖ Phase 2: Data Management Plan | |||
Consult with informatics specialists or leaders who are familiar with data management, preceptor or SME, and faculty to create a data management plan. The plan should include:
· The data source that you will use to measure the success of your HIP · The measures that you will use to determine the success of your HIP · 1–2 key performance indicators (KPIs) · One benchmark for each KPI · How the organization would like you to protect their data. · A process to collect the quantitative data (e.g., downloaded data from a system, data gathered from a chart review or survey, etc.). · Parameters to collect the quantitative data (e.g., dates, data elements, calculated fields, frequency of collection, etc.). · Process for analyzing and interpreting the data, which includes: o A method to analyze high priority data (e.g., descriptive statistics, such as counts, averages, percentages, etc.) o A process to interpret the results o Predict issues that may affect the results
Document your plan in a written data management plan. Discuss your project data management plan with your preceptor or SME. Create a 5- to 10-minute video that discusses your completed project data management plan. After recording your video and posting it for review, watch two of your peers’ videos and provide them encouraging and constructive feedback. Finally, capture a screenshot of your video and screenshots showing you responded to two of your peers’ videos.
