Assignment: National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

Part 1 – ONC

Go to the federal website for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Locate SIX projects, activities, or tools that they are currently working on or have worked on in the past. In your own words, give an overview of the projects numbering each project. Include the specific links for each project (not just generic ONC links) beneath the paragraph and properly cite your sources. Since we are looking at health information technology this week, the projects/case studies MUST have something to do with health information technology. Be sure to include whether this was a past or present project. Each project should be about a paragraph in length. Number each and provide the link beneath the paragraph.

Part 2 – AHRQ

Go to the AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality) website. Locate TWO reports or case studies related to AHRQs funding of health information technology. In your own words, give an overview of the projects. Include the direct links and properly cite your sources under each paragraph. Each report/case study should be about a paragraph in length.

I should be able to understand these projects without having to visit the website AND without you directly copying the information. In total this should be about 2 pages, double-spaced.

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.
