Instructions: Please follow the instructions below and the attached sample paper when writing my paper.  The small nursing informatics project that I will be creating is a risk management plan for the project of Electronic Health Record (EHR).

You will use project management tools and strategies to propose how you would support and potentially implement a small nursing informatics project. While you may not have the opportunity to implement this proposed project, this project will allow you to apply the skills needed and the considerations that are required in deducing how a project of this scope might take place in your nursing practice. To complete this project, you will define a small informatics project that would be beneficial to your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You can discuss this with upper leadership, in your practice or organization, explaining that you will need to design, plan, and propose how to implement and evaluate a small informatics project that can be completed within a 9-week time frame during this course. This project will be completed in two parts.

For Week 2, Conduct A SWOT Analysis.

• Project Design: Conduct a SWOT analysis which will provide information for the Scope and Charter. You can use a Word document and insert a table. Directions can be viewed in the video, How to Perform a SWOT Analysis. Some of the content is relevant to both the project for this course as well as organization for your DNP Project or dissertation. Overall, the first step for any project, work, or your DNP Project/dissertation requires a plan: what you will and will not do. That information isdefined in a project scope and charter.

For Week 3, complete the following:

• Create a visual using the Gap Analysis map of the identified gap, documenting the flow from the point of origin to the destination. After watching the YouTube video, “How to do a GAP Analysis” media piece in this week’s Learning Resources, identify the gap and analyze the flow or lack of flow of information as the gap in a process.

• Create a Project Timeline using a Gantt chart, which defines who is responsible, due dates to start /finish activities. (You might also use this as you track your dissertation IRB submission for your proposal). You can find an example on pp. 95–96 of the course text, using PowerPoint slides or another method. Be sure to review the aGantt Charts, Simplified media piece in this week’s Learning Resources.
