DFD Diagram
Data flow diagrams (DFDs) are used for documenting the logical
design of an information system by showing graphically the various entry and
exit touch points within a HMIS. Data flow diagrams provide a way for the
system to be broken down into manageable parts beginning with a general context
and moving into more detail.
Draft a DFD for one area you identify from the list below:
1. Patient admission
2. Perioperative (pre, intra, post)
3. Departmental handoff
4. Medical billing/insurance
5. Physician ordering
6. Supply chain management
7. Security management (include
HIPAA guidelines)
8. Other (instructor’s approval
required)
Write a two- to three-page summary (excluding title and reference pages) in APA
format outlining the DFD for your selected area. Additionally, provide a graphic version of your DFD that
is compartmentalized to produce optimized results, for the benefit of
the HMIS team and other stakeholders. Utilize at least two scholarly and/ or
peer-reviewed sources published within the last five years, cited according to
APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Carefully review theGrading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
