As part of this course, you will be developing an evaluation plan based on an appropriate model.

As part of this course, you will be developing an evaluation plan based on an appropriate model. For this Assignment, you will examine in depth the four models introduced in this week’s Learning Resources (Technology Acceptance, Model Diffusion of Innovations, Disruptive Innovation, Sociotechnical Theory Models). By increasing your familiarity with these key models, you will more easily recognize which would be most appropriate for the evaluation you decide to perform.

To prepare:

Review the four research models covered in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider the key points of each and when they would be the most appropriate choice for an evaluation.
To complete this Assignment:

By Thursday 12/22/2016 by 5pm,

1) Create graphic representations of the four models, including descriptions of each overall model, key components, who was involved in their development, key ways they have been used, and potential uses in health informatics.

2) These representations will be for your use in your upcoming course project, so the greater the detail, the more useful these representations will be to you.

3) Potential formats could include but are not limited to tables, mind maps, Venn diagrams, or concept maps.

P.S. include an introduction and a summary. The introduction must end with a purpose statement (e.g. “The purpose of this paper is to …” ) in APA format.

Use the references listed in the instructions area for this assignment.

Thank you!

This article focuses on the attempt to develop a model that will assist nurses in mastering the use of health information technology (HIT), thus enabling them to spend more time on patient care and less on clerical-type duties. The authors also studied how the use of HIT could increase patient safety.

In this article, the authors highlight results of a literature review on the implementation of health information technology and the related theories and models. Based on their research, the authors developed a framework of key areas that provides a structure to organize and capture information on the use of health IT.
