What NURS 718 Week 7 HMIS Project Part 2 Planning asks for

In Part 2 you create a detailed plan for the system being developed for your organization. You must use the Tan and Payton textbook and at least 5 other scholarly sources, and Part 2 must be 10 to 12 pages in current APA. It is due in Module/Week 7 with Tan and Payton chapters 7 and 12. Worth 200 points.

Where it fits in NURS 718

In the published schedule, HMIS Project Part 2 Planning is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 718. It follows Week 6 HMIS Project Part 1 Introduction and comes before Week 8 HMIS Project Part 3 Implementation/Evaluation.

How NURS 718 Week 7 HMIS Project Part 2 Planning is graded

Liberty grades HMIS Project Part 2 Planning with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 200 points in the published guide. That is about 20% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.

Course grades in NURS 718 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.

Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.

The NURS 718 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (The Tan and Payton textbook and at least 5 other scholarly sources).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.

  6. Format and length

    Follow the required template or headings and check length (10 to 12 pages) and APA.

A structure for NURS 718 Week 7 HMIS Project Part 2 Planning

Word targets are planning numbers for about 2,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

SectionWhat it must doTarget
IntroductionRecap of the vision and goals from Part 1.~160 words
Needs assessment and requirementsFunctional and technical requirements from users.~400 words
System selection or designOptions considered and the choice, with reasons.~360 words
Stakeholders and teamWho plans, builds, approves and uses it.~280 words
Workflow and dataHow the system changes workflow and what data it uses.~320 words
Budget, timeline and riskCosts, milestones and the main risks with mitigation.~320 words
ConclusionReadiness for implementation.~160 words

A topic angle that works

Use a systems development life cycle as the plan's spine (needs assessment, requirements, selection, design) and put the timeline in a table. A plan the reader could hand to an IT committee is the standard the guide sets.

Model paragraph with notes

An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.

NURS 718 Week 7, sample system selection paragraph

Three options were considered: building the alert within the existing EHR, purchasing a middleware notification product, or continuing the phone-based process with better logging.1 The in-EHR build was selected because it uses the existing interface with the laboratory system, requires no new vendor contract and keeps the alert in the provider's normal workflow, which Tan and Payton identify as the strongest predictor of adoption.2 Its limitation is dependence on the EHR team's build queue, addressed in the timeline by a reserved build slot in the second month.3

  1. Shows alternatives were weighed.
  2. Justifies the choice with criteria and the text.
  3. Names a limitation and its mitigation.
