Resource Attached — HCC Profile

Healthy Care Community (HCC) is upgrading its HIT system. You are participating in the project. 

Current and Recommended Architecture Diagrams

Create a Microsoft® Visio® diagram of the current HCC HIT architecture and a second diagram of your proposed architecture that meets HCC’s business and performance needs and technical requirements. 

Consider the Digital Bedside Monitoring System Performance Issue described in the Healthy Care Community Profile when preparing your proposed architecture. Examine the performance issue to find the source of the problem, consider how you would resolve it, and include the resolution in your recommended design. 

Include the following in your diagrams, as applicable:

• Five HIT components
• Current and proposed hardware
• Current and proposed software applications, along with notes regarding key interactions
• Data flow map
• Sufficient detail to support the creation of security, installation, and maintenance plans 

Part 2 – Design Explanation

Create a 3- to 4-page explanation in Microsoft® Word for the project team that describes your design recommendation and how your recommendation will maximize performance and optimization. 

Include the following in your explanation:

• A summary of your architecture design change recommendations
• A description of how your recommendations will improve overall network performance and the performance of individual components
• An explanation of how your recommendations will resolve the Digital Bedside Monitoring Performance Issue, including:
• What a Medical Record Number (MRN) is and its role in accurately and uniquely identifying patients
• What caused the performance error
• A summary of your recommendation with supporting reasoning
