Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology.
Since the inception of the HITECH Act, health organizations have faced increased pressure to update their health information technology (HIT) resources. As discussed last week, many believe that the increased use of electronic health records and the quick and efficient communication afforded by HIT can lead to improved quality of patient care. Yet there are significant costs associated with implementing such systems. What can organizations do to ensure that the correct system is selected and that the system will be appropriate for those required to use it? Who should be involved in those decisions? This week introduces the systems development life cycle and discusses how it can guide an organization through the complexities of adopting a new HIT system. In this Discussion, you are asked to consider the role of nurses in the SDLC process. To prepare: Review the steps of the systems development life cycle. Think about your own organization, or one with which you are familiar, and the steps the organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system. Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology. What might be the consequences of not involving nurses? Reflect on your own experiences with your organization selecting and implementing new technology. As an end user, do you feel you had any input in the selection or and planning of the new HIT system?
How many bikes should George buy each year to maximize his expected profit?
George owns a small business renting out bicycles in Detroit. He rents each bike for $5 a day. After a year, his rental bikes are worn out and basically worthless. So each year George gives his old bikes to a local charity and replaces his entire fleet of bikes. George buys his bikes from a local manufacturer at the discounted price of $500 each. George has estimated the following probability distribution of the number of bikes he can expect to rent on any given day: After George rents out a bike, he has to clean and tune it before he can rent it out again. The average cost of this maintenance is $2 per bike. This includes the cost of materials and the opportunity cost of George’s time. George’s store is open five days a week year round, except during a four-week period each January when he goes skiing. How many bikes should George buy each year to maximize his expected profit?

Research a specific motivation theory and determine why this method would be the most practical and effective for this program. Theories such as the expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, Management by Objectives (MBO), or the four-prong model of intrinsic motivation. Explain why the selected theory would be the most practical and effective for the rewards and recognition program. Recommend 23 types of rewards and (or) recognition that would be the most effective in motivating the employees to achieve the goals.
