Healthcare Informatics Course Work in Preparation for Healthcare Capstone
To help you prepare for your Healthcare Capstone Project, you will be given the opportunity in this course
to address several key components of data collection and analysis that will serve as the starting point for
what you will do in Healthcare Capstone.
This preparation will be done primarily through the Discussion Questions each week, which will be
focused on the organization and opportunity you select for your Healthcare Capstone project. The work
done in these discussions will parallel the topics we are covering in the core textbook, as well as the
case-based assignments due in Weeks 2 and 5.
Because you will continue to work with the data and analyses you have been collecting and
developing in this course for your Healthcare Capstone Project, you are strongly encouraged to
save your working notes, discussion posts and your data sets in Word and/or Excel for use in
your next course.
Your Selected Organization and Required Data
You are encouraged to choose your own employer for your Healthcare Capstone Project. This allows you
to deal with an organization and issue that have a direct impact on your professional life and for which
you likely already possess a fair bit of expertise.
If you are unable to use your own employer for the Project, you may choose a Healthcare provider in your
community. Please note: the Healthcare Capstone Project requires that real-world data be used so you
must ensure you have access to verifiable data. This will mean that you will choose a publically traded
company or an organization for which audited financial data is available. It also requires that you identify
an issue that is significant enough to warrant the attention of a CEO.
You are strongly advised to reach out to your professor early in the process in Week 1 to discuss your
choice and to clarify the scope and challenges that must be addressed in gathering the data you need to
complete the project components.

Assignment 1: Framing the Problem
Due Sunday, midnight of Week 2 (Weight: 25%)
Overview
Healthcare leaders understand that actions must be based on facts. Which facts are most important,
however, is dependent on how the problem is framed. Failure to adequately define the problem can set in
motion a whole series of misguided undertakings in which irrelevant data is gathered, unnecessary
analyses are completed, and inappropriate decisions are made. This assignment will help you craft a
clear statement of the problem and then determine what data is most critical in solving that problem.
Instructions
For this assignment you will create a business brief of 3 pages. The brief will be based on the case,
Carolinas Healthcare System: Consumer Analytics. This requires you to identify a problem from this case
that can be addressed through an informatics approach, and then to provide sufficient background on the
organization to accurately frame the problem for stakeholders. For guidance, please refer to Chapter 2 of
Davenport & Kim, Keeping up with the Quants. Your brief must include the following seven components:
1. Define a clear problem or opportunity that addresses what is important to the organization.
2. Define key items or variables you want to study that are relevant to the problem.
3. Identify stakeholders for the problem, including the stakeholder(s) who will make a specific
decision based on analysis results once the problem is solved.
4. Briefly explain two alternative ways the problem could be addressed beyond what is presented in
the case.
5. Adopt an analytical story type to communicate the particular problem (see pp. 29-40, Davenport &
Kim).
6. Describe relevant information on previous experiences or findings related to this problem. This
information may be included in the main body of the brief or noted in an appendix, whichever is
most appropriate for context and flow.
Formatting Requirements:
Include a Cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, professors name, and
the course title and date
Include a References page with your sources
The Cover page and the References page are not included in the required page length
Double-spaced, professional font (Times New Roman or Arial), 10-12 font size
Headings are used to identify main topics and subtopics
Paragraphs are separated by a single space
