A Community Practice Experience
You may also choose to share one of each. The model suggests that patients actively compare their treatment outcomes with their expectations about outcomes and the outcomes that are related to their best alternative. They are thought to reassess how their control in treatment was related to those outcomes and subsequently modify their adherence behavior based on the presence or absence of resources. The purpose of this study was to explore pharmacy and stakeholder leaders’ perceptions of pharmacists’ professional NHP roles and responsibilities.

Healthcare Information System Selection Team Introduction and Alignment
The failure of HIS implementation is high. To ensure that a system aligns with organizational goals, integrates with other systems and infrastructure, and is user friendly, a team of healthcare professionals should be involved in system selection.
Healthcare Information System Selection Team
In addition, the system needs to adhere to government standards, such as HIPAA, and address challenges related to healthcare costs, quality of care, medical errors, and so on.
Healthcare Information System Selection Team Assignment Requirements
Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:
• Evaluate major challenges facing healthcare delivery systems today.
Resources
• Textbook: Information Systems for Healthcare Management
Background Information
Recent changes in healthcare reform, such as those covered under the Affordable Care Act legislation of 2010, create new challenges. For example, now more people have health insurance coverage because the Act expanded coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. Also, children are now allowed to stay under their parents’ insurance plan until the age of 26. Changes such as these may cause health insurance providers and healthcare institutions to update their systems to be in compliance; it is important to consider the people who will form the team in charge of these updates. New legislation is just one reason why you may want administrators with legal knowledge on the system selection team and/or to build a workflow into system updates that is specifically designed to ensure compliance with laws. Having knowledge-enabled workflows is just one way to reduce costs through efficiency. The cost of not being legally compliant is much greater in the long run when penalties are imposed on the institution or when litigation is necessary.

Highlights from the development of the Information Technology Business Case and the HIT return on investment should be included in your presentation as well. Refer to Exhibit 13.5 in the textbook (page 355).

Choose one health issue and discuss the impact of ethnicity on that issue. For example:
• Diabetes and ethnicity

• Thalassaemia and/or Sickle Cell Disease and ethnicity
Sickle Cell Disease
• Dementia and ethnicity
• And so on

• The health and health needs of the Traveler community
• The health and health needs of the Chinese community

An Anti-Racist Perspective on The Impact of Ethnicity in Health and Social Care
The whole report is to be written from an anti-racist perspective. This means arguing from the standpoint of your chosen ethnic minority group.
The report must incorporate:
(i) A review of the literature – this section must look at what current research and key thinkers say about your chosen topic. Here you are focusing on the main findings in relation to your chosen topic bringing together (summarizing) what different studies and authors say. You are not reviewing individual studies that have come out nor should you describe one study after another e.g. simply have one paragraph saying study X says this, followed by a paragraph saying study Y says that, and so on. You are giving an overview of what has been said in books, journals, reports, etc. on your chosen subject – i.e. What is known about your topic? Who are the key writers and what do they say? What are the key ideas, research findings and theories around/about your chosen topic?
(ii) An analysis of relevant UK policy from an anti-racist perspective – here you select the most recent or relevant policy and critically review whether or not it is meeting the needs of your chosen group and/or in relation to your chosen health issue. A place to start your search would be the Department of Health (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health) and for policies prior to May 2010 (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/webarchive/).
(iii) an evidenced, reasoned and argued conclusion
(iv) recommendations based on your overall conclusion.
(v) You must choose your own report title relevant to the content of your report.
