Identify a specific challenge related to quality and safety. (This may be the same challenge you selected for this week’s Discussion or a different one.)
Investigate how health information technology could be used to address this challenge. Review the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources, and conduct additional research of your own using the Walden library and credible Web sites. Then, narrow your focus to one type of technology that would be highly beneficial for addressing this challenge.
Consider the potential outcomes associated with implementing this technology.
What stakeholder concerns might arise?
How would it potentially decrease (or would it possibly increase) systems errors and/or errors related to human factors?
How could the return on investment be determined?
The Assignment
