UOP Network Architecture and External Communication Paper

This week you continue your work on the Yates Community HIT and HIE Network Upgrade Project by considering the network requirements that will enable communication between Yates Community with state, regional, and national systems. In addition, you will be selecting an appropriate architecture model and diagraming system component designs.

Part 1

Select an architectural model for the Yates Community HIT network that will support both the internal functioning of the network and the communication between your system and the RHIO.

Create the following two diagrams that will enable developers of different system components to build and test the design.

• HIT System Overview
• Revise the diagram you completed in the Week Three Individual Assignment, “Yates Community Network: Internal EHR Optimization” and include:
• Revisions that reflect instructor feedback
• Design elements that reflect your selected architecture model
• Annotations denoting where communication will occur between the Yates Community network and the RHIO
• Annotations showing where HIE and security standards are incorporated within the Yates Community network and at various points of communication to enable communication with the RHIO.
• EHR System Detail
• Create an EHR system diagram in which developers can use to build and test this component. Include:
• Information exchange standards
• Industry and government security requirements
• Intersystem communication requirements, including any instructor feedback you received on your “EHR Requirements and Action Summary” from your Week Three Individual Assignment titled, “Yates Community Network: Internal EHR Optimization”

Part 2:

Write a 3-page HIT network Model and Design Justification, in Microsoft® Word, you could submit to your IT director.

Include the following:

• Reasons for your selected architecture model
• Reasons you did not select other common architecture models
• The design elements you included to maximize interoperable exchange of healthcare data

Compress the two diagram files and the Model Design and Justification document into a ZIP file.
