You recently earned your master’s degree in nursing informatics and have been hired as an informatics nurse
specialist at a midsize rural hospital. Diabetes and high blood pressure are growing public health problems in
underserved populations living in excess of 45 minutes from the hospital. Much of the population does not have
access to the internet. In an effort to improve access to healthcare services and increase patient accountability
in patient-physician interactions, your organization is considering the integration of a telehealth program. Your
hospital currently has a modern EHR in place that allows integration across ambulatory care offices associated
with the organization. As the team lead, you have been asked to identify a telehealth system that addresses
the needs of your community and is compatible with your hospital’s current system.
You must deliver a Gantt chart to your hospital executive leadership that arranges all the major subtasks in
each of the five major phases of your SDLC (i.e., planning, analysis, design/development, implementation, and
evaluation). You must complete your Gantt chart using the Microsoft Visio software or an equivalent drawing
tool.
