Choose a health care setting of interest to you. (Examples include ALF, SNF, Hospital, and Home Health Agency.) Imagine this setting is in a major expansion and growth period. Discuss the informatics applications and technology used, maintained, and needed within your chosen setting. Be sure to include infrastructure such as hardware and software needs. Cite course readings and other peer-reviewed sources to support your analysis, according to APA sixth edition style. Remember that an APA citation includes both the in-text citation (the author’s last name and the year of publication) and the full reference for the source.
