Paper: Healthcare Informatics
Consider that you are a Healthcare Informaticist. You have been asked to evaluate the current workflow and make a recommendation regarding the workflow communications, protocol, and architecture required in order to select a new healthcare information system for your organization, department, or place of employment. You will write a paper and develop a presentation that could be used to present your findings and recommendations to senior management.

Your paper should be 10 pages, not including the title page, and references pages. Your presentation should be a PowerPoint presentation approximately 10 minutes in length. You may choose to do speaker notes that I can read, OR you may do a voice-over PowerPoint. Your findings should include the following:
A. Situation Analysis:
a. Describe the environment, provider objectives, and current information systems configuration, as well as any unmet needs or issues. (This section should be a description of what is in place and what is wrong with what is in place).
B. Workflow Requirements:
