One of the many resources you have available to you as a student at USF is a subscription to Lynda.com. To access this website, log on to https://my.usf.edu/Pages/Home.aspx (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., highlight the “Learning and Teaching Tools” tab, and click on the “online training (Lynda.com)” tab from the dropdown menu. If you are already logged in with your MyUSF credentials, you shouldn’t have to create any type of account to explore the content.

Take some time to peruse the vast library of tutorial videos available to you. For this week, focus specifically on finding an interesting resource on visual design. Once you’ve found a good video, post it in this discussion board along with a response (around 250 words) that summarizes the main ideas of the video, articulates how these principles could be best applied to visual rhetoric, and describes the role that visual design plays in writing/composition.

After everyone has posted a video, you should have a nice class collection of resources that should help you better understand some of the elements of visual rhetoric you’ll be engaging with for project 2. Use these videos to enrich your writing and understanding of how writers are responsible for more than just words on a page.

******ATTACHED IS THE PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS SO YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECT

Due Week 8 and worth 130 points

Use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research articles on EVM.

Project managers often use Earned Value Management (EVM) if they want to compare the status of their projects to their project plans. Using the same project from Assignment 3, develop a project scenario to explain the amount of work that you have completed with the funds allotted.

This assignment consists of two (2) sections:

• MS Project Exercise
• EVM paper

You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Section 1: MS Project Exercise

Assume that your project is using more resources (e.g., time, money, and / or other non-labor resources, etc.) than anticipated through 50% of the project duration.

1. Update the project schedule to reflect related resource changes.

2. Produce a series of EVM reports from MS project that illustrates your project’s performance. Note: Your reports should focus on the cost and schedule performance of the project.

Section 2: EVM Paper

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

3. Summarize the resource changes of your project, and discuss the performance results of your project.

4. Determine one (1) performance measurement baseline for your MS Project. Justify your response.

5. Apply earned value analysis (EVA) in order to forecast future cost issues. Justify your response.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Appraise the process of determining the cost and relevant budget required for a project component.
• Analyze quality assurance processes in project management.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in project estimating and budgeting.
• Write clearly and concisely about project estimating and budgeting using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric found here.

MIS Final Project

Weaknesses of old software

• Not very secure
• Complicated to carry over info from mobile device to desktop application
• Restrictive interface

E. What recommended changes do you see necessary to meet the changed demands of the organization?

1

Assess Your Practice Readiness

The first step in EHR implementation is to conduct an assessment of your current practice and its goals, needs, and financial and technical readiness. With an accurate view of your level of preparedness, your practice can design an implementation plan that meets the specific needs of your practice.

Go to Step 1

2

Plan Your Approach

Planning draws on the information gathered during the assessment phase, to outline the practice’s EHR implementation plan.

Go to Step 2

3

Select or Upgrade to a Certified EHR

There are a number of steps involved in choosing the right EHR system for your practice. Eligible health care professionals and eligible hospitals must use certified EHR technology in order to achieve meaningful use and qualify for incentive payments. Looking to make your current EHRs meaningful use compliant? Start here.

Go to Step 3

4

Conduct Training & Implement an EHR System

EHR implementation involves the installation of the EHR system and associated activities, such as training, mock “go-live,” and pilot testing.

Go to Step 4

5

Achieve Meaningful Use

The final phase of EHR implementation includes successfully attesting to demonstrating meaningful use of EHRs, and reassessing what you have learned from training and everyday use of the system.

Go to Step 5

6

Continuous Quality Improvement

Emphasizes continuous evaluation of your practice’s goals and needs post-EHR-implementation to continue improving workflows that achieve the individual practice’s goals while leveraging the functionality of electronic health records (EHRs).
