Reference this website  for the electronic healthcare resources to complete assignment:   http://bluebuttonconnector.healthit.gov/apps/  and and other resources if necessary to meet the required resources.

Research two to three electronic healthcare resources; these could be websites, mobile applications, or multimedia resources used by healthcare consumers for their medical needs.Make sure you’ve looked at the Apps activity this week prior to working on this assignment. The assignment is looking for you to discuss specific resources, not just websites or apps in general.

Create a 4-6 slide PowerPoint with speaker’s notes discussing the following based on your research:

• Describe the websites, applications, or multimedia resources.
• How do healthcare providers use these resources to enhance their products and services?
• What are the implications of using these resources in the healthcare industry? What are the implications for the consumer?

Cite at least 2 sources to support your content and provide an APA formatted reference slide. For additional information on how to properly cite your sources check out theReference and Citation Generator resource in the Center for Writing Excellence.

Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS:

The Apps activity is absolutely required to succeed with this paper. Make sure you’ve participated in that discussion, as well as read all the required chapters so you understand what is needed for this presentation from a content perspective.

Please ensure you have reviewed the feedback that I provided on your week 2 EHR memo assignment prior to finalizing your work on this assignment.  I will submit feedback from EHR Workflow when she submits to me for review prior to your finalization. 

Title and reference slide do not count toward minimum of 4-6.

You must have fully composed and referenced speaker’s notes in paragraph format for ALL slides except title and reference. Minimize text on-slide, using only bullet points and graphics for the slide and placing all the details and analysis in the speaker’s notes.

80% of your grade is meeting content, 20% is mechanics/APA/grammar/design

I will send any update info from teacher if she submits anything else. 

Thanks have a good evening.

Each question is worth 20 points. Give specific examples to support all of your answers.

 1. What was your perception of freshmen orientation when you registered for the course (exclude instructor and just focus on course content)? Now that you have completed the course, what is your new perception? (Note – All sections of ORBM 102 teach the same material. The delivery style depends on the instructor.) 

2. At the midpoint of this course, you gave an analysis of how the members of your company (group/team) worked together. Now that you have completed the semester: ï‚· First, evaluate the performance of each member of your team. ï‚· Next, take us through your teams “5 stages of team development” ï‚· Finally, tell how your group/team functioned for the remainder of this semester. For example, did you grow stronger, did you fall short; how did you come together for the different team presentations (i.e. Hot Topics in Higher Education, CareerPedia; GSBM Inventors EXPO, GSBM Olympics)? Also, did you shift from a group to a team, team to group, or did you stay consistent in just one of these areas? 

3. Now that you have observed the culture of each team/company from your class and the personalities of your classmates as a whole, develop one “Dream Team”. Who would you put together (people from different teams) as the ultimate presentation team? With each member (excluding yourself), give 4-5 names and justify your answer by evaluating each person and their strengths in this area as you see them. 

4. How did you handle stress and time management when you reached the Pressure Point Season (Back to Back Convocations, Multiple meetings with team members and instructor, two presentations in less than 30 days)? Did you see any changes in your personal character, the character of your team members or the team’s outcomes of these projects?

 5. What are the five most important pieces of information and/or lessons learned from freshmen orientation this semester? How will you use this information throughout your college, professional and/or personal life?
