Discussion Assignment Introduction Interoperability is an essential part of The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) Rule. Therefore, the ONC has developed training modules for health professionals and critical access hospitals on how to implement new standards to support • • • • Transitions of Care Lab Exchange Patient Engagement Public Health Measures The training is a five part, self-paced, and interactive series of courses. Resources: For this week’s discussion, go to ONC’s website Interoperability Training Courses https://www.healthit.gov/topic/interoperability-training-courses (Links to an external site.) Then, complete the Interoperability Basics Training course as well as at least one addition course (for a total of 2 courses). Choose at least 1 from the list: • • • • Interoperability and Transitions of Care Interoperability and Lab Exchange Interoperability and Patient and Family Engagement Interoperability and Public Health Instructions Then navigate to the discussion thread and follow the prompts: 1. Summarize what you learned from the Interoperability Basics Training. 2. Clearly identify and summarize what you learned from your chosen course. 3. As a DNP-prepared nurse leader, how can you use your newfound knowledge?
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
