4 Page Technology Needs Analysis

Create a 4-6-page technology needs analysis based on a Vila Health simulation.

A needs analysis is a way to address needed changes within a health care organization. Typically, when completing a needs analysis, the reviewer will look at the current state and compare it to a desired state for the organization.

This assessmentprovides an opportunity for you to complete a needs analysis to identify gaps in practice related to current technology within an organization. As a part of the needs analysis, you will define a problem with current technology and determine what practice improvements can be made by identifying new or updated technology to meet the needs of the patient population and improve outcomes.
