Briefly describe the workflow at the clinical setting.

Start with a typical patient care episode and analyze the steps of the process from the beginning to end of care episode.

Include all levels and phases as well as personnel (clinical and administrative) who are involved. Completed paper is worth up to 500 points.

Identify the area of inefficiency in your practice and use a flow-chart to analyze the process. Show how it is carried out step-by-step. Include the standard symbols and rules for designing a flowchart, which you have learned in Unit 2. Use the underlying concepts of workflow, task analysis, human factor/ergonomics, human-technology interface, and utility testing to analyze nurse workflow problem and provide an information technology recommendation/solution that would potentially improve the processes of care as well as related clinical and administrative

outcomes.
