Comparison Of Key Evaluation Models In Health Informatic

Create graphic representations of four evaluation models. Use MS Word to create your graphic. Your graphic should include:

Descriptions of each overall model
Key components of each overall model
An important figure or figures in the development of each model
Significant ways each model has been used
Potential uses of each model in health informatics

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.

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

In principle all aspects o f a system are candidates for assessment in all phases o f the system’s development. In practice, some aspects are more prominent in some o f the phases than in others. During its life cycle, the assessment m a y change in nature from being prognostic (during planning), to screening and diagnosing (prior to switching over to daily operation), to treating (in the handling o f known error situations or shortcomings). Be aware, therefore, that even if a method is not listed under a specific phase, an information need may arise that requires inspiration from the methods listed under other phases.

Note that few o f the references given include a discussion o f the weaknesses, perils, and pitfalls o f the method described.

6.1 Overview of Assessment Methods” Explorative Phase

The methods included in this section are particularly relevant to the assessment o f issues raised during the establishment o f a User Re- quirements Specification, such as objectives, requirements, and expectations.

Method

Analysis of Work Procedures

Assessment of Bids

Balanced Scorecard

BIKVA

Areas of application

Elucidation of how things are actually carried out within an organization.

Comparative assessment of a number of offers from one or more bidders/vendors.

, . .

Ongoing optimization of the outcome of a development project by balancing focus areas by means of a set of indicators for a set of strategic objectives.

Organizational Readiness Comparison Of Key Evaluation Models In Health Informatics

�9 (Qualitative) assessment o f an e f f e c t – for instance, where the solution space is otherwise too big to handle

�9 Exploration o f development trends �9 Elucidation o f a problem a r e a – for instance,

prior to strategic planning.

Observation o f an organization to identify its practice and to clarify mechanisms controlling change.

This is in principle used for the same purposes as other interview methods. In practice, the method is most relevant during the early Explorative P h a s e – for instance, where attitudes or problems o f social groups need elucidation or when a model solution is being established.

Evaluation and analysis o f an (existing) situation in order to identify and focus on areas for change – that is, aiming at designing future practices.

Supportive analytical method for data acquisition methods that generate textual data, such as some open questionnaire methods and interviews (individual and group interviews).

This is used when no other realizable possibilities e x i s t – for instance, when:

�9 The organization does not have the necessary time or expertise

�9 There are no formalized methods �9 There is nothing tangible to assess yet.

This is particularly suited for elucidation o f individuals’ opinions, attitudes, and perceptions regarding phenomena and observations.

Optimization of the outcome o f a long-term development project, based on a set o f user or customer/client-defined value norms and objectives.

Situation analysis to support the choice o f focus for a development but at the same time a simple technique for incorporation o f risk handling within project planning.
