Your second longer-term assignment in this course is to complete an observation journal, where you will use the previous information collected in your

comparison template to apply social scientific observations to help you to develop a question about the ads that a social scientist might ask. The work you do on

this observation journal will directly support your work on your third course project, the final reflection, which is due later in the course.

Information Systems and Technology

Prepare: For this discussion, you are required to read Chapter 7 of Making Strategy Count in the Human Services Sector  and select a minimum of one scholarly article from the Ashford library  that examines information systems issues within the health and human  services field (e.g., ethics, limitations related to use, employee  training, data quality, etc.)  The HealthIT, HUD, and Child Welfare  Information Gateway websites are good recommended resources to refer to;  they may be used, but do not replace your required scholarly article.

 

Reflect: Information systems play a vital role in  the collection of pertinent data within human service organizations. In  this second discussion forum for the week, you will choose one of five  case examples that illustrates the use of information systems and  scrutinize its application. Think about the issues and considerations  related to the application of information systems addressed in the  readings.

 

Write: After selecting one of the five information  systems case examples identified in pages 142-146 of the textbook,  critically assess the role of the Public Health Management Corporation  in your selected scenario, taking into account factors impacting its  successful development of information systems and how the use of  technology is applied in the delivery of human services. Then, using  your required scholarly resource, you will identify and explain a  minimum of three issues for consideration  (e.g., ethical challenges,  financial considerations, employee training, quality improvement, etc.)  that human service organizations should be mindful of to ensure  effective use of information systems.
