From the National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) legislation of the 1990s to current day Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) legislation and the health information technology, the NHII continues to evolve, but at a more rapid pace. Part of that evolution has included not only the public and private health infrastructure development between the health providers, CDC, and the states but also many nongovernment partners, such as the commercial MEDLINE Plus, the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHQR), and many more.

• Consider the NHII’s evolution and its achievements over the last two decades and share your understanding of its many components and how they work together to provide greater access to health information.
• How is that information used to build healthier communities
• What are the key drivers in the evolution of the NHII?
• How do you envision the NHII will evolve and function in the coming years?

 Here….referring to my unit 2 assignment topic is: availability and affordability of insulin

As you learned in the reading for Unit 4, URLs (web addresses) associated with the retrieval information while others only have a series of numbers.  These numbers are known as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The purpose of a DOI is to clearly and directly identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet.

For our discussion, this week, use the Herzing online library to conduct a search of peer-reviewed sources related to the topic you identified in the Unit 2 assignment. Find an article that includes a reference page. Examine the reference page.

• Are there any sources that include a DOI?
• In addition, what additional sources does the reference page lead you to that would be useful to you?

In a well-developed initial post, walk your classmates through the process as you conducted your search.

• Then, explain what insights you had as you reviewed the reference page for your source.
• Finally, make the case for the DOI and its ability to give the reader instant access to the exact same information you are using to inform or persuade them. 

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Please review post and response expectations.

We have covered a lot of ground since the beginning of the course, and you have learned a great deal about the types of information available, how to discern its credibility, and how to present it to others in a way that continues the academic discussion. 

Look back to the Unit 1 discussion and review how you responded to the part of the prompt that asked: “Explain what the phrase ‘information literacy’ means to you. What role does information literacy play in your academic life, your workplace, and your social circles?” 

 

• 1. Have your ideas changed since Unit 1? 
• 2. In your response, reflect on how this course has affected your viewpoint on information both for future academic courses and for your professional/personal life.  
• 3. Do you feel more ‘information literate?’  How will this impact the way you address knowledge questions in the future?
