Assignment Instructions:

This week we reviewed computer applications and technology used in practice. In preparation for this assignment, you will need to 1) select a disease process to investigate; and, 2) review the applications (apps) listed on the Becker’s Hospital Review webpage:

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/50-healthcare-apps-for-clinicians-and-consumers-to-know.html or discuss applications that you have used or that you have seen patients use.

Please review the guidelines for PowerPoint presentations: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/visual_rhetoric/designing_effective_powerpoint_presentations/index.html

Review of the Evidence to Support the Use of Medical Applications (2 slides)

1. Using the library, research a minimum of two (2) scholarly articles related to the use of medical applications for patient education and disease management.
2. Explain how the research supports the use of medical applications in practice. Provide a summary that is one paragraph with at least 5-7 sentences. Be sure to appropriately cite your references.
3. Provide two slides that offer a summary of the key points that support the use of medical applications for patient education and disease management.

Conclusion and Summary Slide (1 – 2 slides)

1. Provide a thorough conclusion or summary statement and address each of the following questions:
   1. What were your perspectives on the use of medical applications?
   2. How has your perspective on the use of medical applications changed as a result of completing this assignment?

APA Citation and Reference Page (1 slide)

1. Use at least two scholarly sources to support your position and plan. Cite all references, provide a reference page, and present the paper in APA format.

Grammar, Mechanics, Spelling, Syntax
