Examples of health care delivery settings are as follows: a small community hospital, a rural primary care clinic, a home health agency, a medical unit within a correctional facility, a large multi-facility urban hospital system, or a specialty physician’s office such as oncology or endocrinology.
Consider choosing a setting that you currently work in or would like to work in later on in your career.
Describe this health care setting, the patient population it serves, the volume of patients that it serves, the needs of the setting, etc.
Identify a health care information system to meet the needs of this facility. Is there a vendor who offers such a system, or is a custom solution needed? Provide details.

Identify three to five (3-5) potential barriers in implementing the system and describe how you would work around those barriers.
