For this assignment, it is very important that you think of absolutely every data element connected with the task you choose. It is most important that the solutions presented by you, be logical and complete enough to perform the tasks chosen.

  1. Choose a healthcare-related task, such as patient registration or medication administration, or laboratory blood test. It should be a very specific task, not very broad such as an inpatient stay.

 

  1. Then determine the data elements which would need to be collected and stored for the task.  –  10 points  (Look at your process and then look at the data dictionary example found on page 199 to determine the data elements that you would need to capture)

 

  1. Develop a data dictionary for the data elements. – 15 points (read over the data dictionary information on page 197 and review the example on page 199)
