Vila Health: Health Information System Characteristics and Needs In the assignment, you analyzed the Vila Health settings and the health information systems of the various hospitals it acquired. Now that you have already made your decision on whether to integrate systems, you have been asked to support that decision within the larger context of the external environment. The COO would like a 6-page analysis of the current state of health informatics and a rationale for how your decision for the hospital’s health information systems fit into this environment. Be sure to consider the data capture needs of each hospital as well as how your decisions ensure the hospitals are in compliance and benefiting from the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System. Assignment Instructions Refer to the unit studies (including the Vila Health: Health Information System Characteristics and Needs challenge, linked in the Resources) and the last assignment, and write a 6-page analysis, in which you will: • Analyze the current health care information technology environment, including current industry trends and incentive programs. • Analyze how the Vila Health hospitals fit into the health care technology environment. • Differentiate the specific, unique needs of each hospital, including data gathering needs. • Support decisions and recommendations using current trends and best practices from the literature.
