The implementation of information Technology within health care delivery process, initially, was a slow process but, nowadays, is gaining.  Most health care organizations are aware of the many advantages and risks related to the implementation of information technologies, IoT devices and cloud repositories within the health care organizations.  Implementation of information technologies within the health care organizations can bring many advantages, such as, lowering health care costs, decrease medical errors, open information silos, and provide a trustable sources for timely medical information.  Nevertheless, these advantages come in hand with disadvantages such as the need of constant technology update; constant vigilance of cybersecurity implementation and processes; and, use of technology developed by parties that are not expert on health care delivery.  Therefore, information technology, when implemented in health care organizations, should aim at not damaging patients and to comply with current legislation and best practices.

​Artifact 1: 544 Information Security Policy
  • Demonstrate skill in information technology (IT) system documentation
  • Articulation of basics of technical security applications
  • Demonstration of understanding of concepts of disaster recovery and mitigation activity for information system downtime
This artifact demonstrates the knowledge on planning and implementation of an Information Technology System such as an EHR system.  This is a comprehensive document that display the elements required to demonstrate compliance of HIPPA privacy and security rules for meaningful use attestation.  Additionally, this document represents the definition of a policy defining the technical controls and security configurations for users and Information Technology administrators implemented in order to ensure the integrity and availability of the data within a fictitious health care organization (Waverly Family Services).

Artifact 2: 542 EHR System Testing Plan
  • Demonstrate skill in information technology (IT) System documentation
  • Demonstrate knowledge of human technology systems integration
  • Demonstrate basic systems evaluation and testing skills
The current artifact contains a template with the required information of a System Testing Plan for an Electronic Health Record System.  This test plan focusses on testing the correct performance of an EHR system and the quality of the data migrated from paper files to a cloud repository.  The plan has been divided into four different components: Unit & Functional Testing, System; System Testing; Integrated Testing; and, Performance Testing.  Each component represent a different level of granularity for an EHR system test starting from the smallest unit (functions) and adding complexity to test components interaction under stress scenarios .

Artifact 3: 543 Reading Data from Tables
  • Demonstrate skills in a programming language such as SQL
The current artifact contains queries on a relational database implemented in Access.  The following queries demonstrates the use of simple filtering commands in where clause, as well as, more advanced concepts.  The advanced concepts are related to the use of inner join clause, use of special statements, like distinct, and the use of having clause on aggregations.
