What are three  innovative technologies that can be used to address the needs of the organization? How do the technologies address the need?

discuss three technologies that will help develop HYPERVSN project. 
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an 
Information Technology Solutions Plan. Industry leaders and innovators implement new technologies and drive innovations at their companies for a variety of purposes. The ability to seek out and critique new technologies based on the adoption and innovation life cycles and then make recommendations for selection, adoption, and implementation is a skill set IT professionals need to possess. You will need to apply this understanding to business cases that reflect the need for innovative technology solutions in today’s workplace in order to transform the thinking of an organization when change is required or to develop ideas that enable new business strategies. The final assessment for this course requires that you 
research and critique three innovative technologies that could potentially address the needs of 
a given company and scenario. Once you have chosen the technology you feel addresses the needs of the organization, describe the ideal timing for adopting the innovative technology. Then create a proposal presentation for the integration that includes the impact the integration will have on the organization.

The project is divided into 
two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in 
Modules Three and Six. The final project is due in Module Nine.

In this assignment you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

· Critique technical innovations for their potential to meet business needs in professional organizations
· Propose plans for the integration of innovative technology solutions that meet organizational and stakeholder needs
· Recommend strategies for adopting innovative technologies based on the phases of the technology adoption life cycle
· Recommend solutions for ensuring ethical and legal compliance and maintain security of innovative technology implementation and use
Prompt

Your Information Technology Solutions Plan should address the following prompt: Given the business case scenario below, you will design an Information Technology Solutions Plan that will address the deficiency in the organization. You will research and critique three innovative technologies that could potentially address the company need, and then select the one you deem to be the best fit for the given scenario.

Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on businesses around the world. Government-mandated closures and reduced numbers of customers allowed in stores made companies rethink their presence and how to provide value-added services to customers in light of the changes brought on by the pandemic. One issue many retail businesses faced was providing customers a virtual experience that included the senses used to purchase items while shopping at a store. While images in catalogs and websites provide a two-dimensional vision of products, they lack the three-dimensional experience provided when seeing an item in person. The sales experience lacks the interactivity provided by holographic images. The future focus of many organizations is bringing a virtual experience to the customer through immersive interaction marketing. This focus is a long-term strategy for both the developers and the clients.

HYPERVSN provides holographic solutions for marketing, communication, and education worldwide. This innovative international company is based in London, England, with its primary mission to continuously bring new and impactful products to the global marketplace. Despite the pandemic, its focus remains on providing new and compelling products that push the boundaries of visual 3D holographic technology. HYPERVSN has a technology business development and marketing (BDM) team. Development sites are in London, Vilnius, and Minsk. HYPERVSN has created a fundamentally new and better system to see 3D in-the-air visuals without the need for any wearable equipment. HYPERVSN technology is about emotion, and the experience is mesmerizing. Generating human experiences and emotion has been, and will always be, at the core of their product design. However, HYPERVSN wants to develop an innovation that allows customers to fully interact with the holograms, much like the holodeck in 
Star Trek. HYPERVSN wants a fully immersive holographic suite where customers are able to both see and feel the product.

The primary requirements for this product are:
· Size: It must be 200 square feet in area and have six holographic walls.
· Interaction: A customer must be able to step into the holographic image, and the image must conform to customer movements.
· Voice command: The customer must be able to change items using verbal commands.
· Touch command: The customer must be able to direct additional movements with touch commands.
HYPERVSN has already identified a viable solution for developing the holographic suite. It has agreed to work with Euclideon Holographics, based in Brisbane, Australia, to develop the holographic suite.

Problem: Instead of developing the holographic solution in-house, HYPERVSN has decided to integrate interactive holographic solutions from Euclideon. In addition to the requirements above, reliability is an important factor in marketing and sales presentations. Cost is also an important factor, as potential customers will be evaluating this solution against other candidates. HYPERVSN has budgeted $2.5 million for this project. HYPERVSN plans to bring this complete product to market within five years. While both companies have abilities for interactive holograms, they lack truly immersive technology. Customers should be able to see and feel the fabric of the product they’re buying. HYPERVSN requires an additional partner that has expertise in immersive holographic technology.

The evidence-based practice I chose was the use of standardized order protocols in triage to assist with expediting patient care and improving patient outcomes. In most ER settings physicians are tasked with assessing every patient and at times due to high acuity may take time to perform assessments. There are universal protocols in place for Chest Pain such as EKG in less than 5 minutes or straight to CT if a patient appears to be having a stroke. In addition, adding order sets for common problems such as abdominal pain and fever which are constantly presented to the ED can assist doctors with patient flow. When a patient presents with abdominal pain or a fever the system can use informatics to order basic blood and urine samples in the case the practitioner or doctor is unavailable to enter orders in the system. This can keep the care of patients moving and assist with expediting the discharge or admission process in many hospitals.
            As with any system, we should not rely 100% on the metrics triggering order sets and should utilize our critical thinking skills to perform accurate patient assessments. But trend tracking can set a great reminder or recommendation for triaging nurse staff. Obtaining a full patient history and performing a thorough assessment can help identify any contraindications in the system’s recommended treatment such as medication contraindications or allergies.

Labeling patient lab specimens at beside is the EBP I chose this week. There are many technologies that support this practice in various ways. At my hospital, we have recently implemented a program called “MobiLab” which involves a printer in every ER room and an application on our iMobile work phones that connects to the printers. Specimens are collected at bedside, the app requires a scan of the patient label and verification of patient identifiers (Name, DOB, etc), the labels are printed at bedside and applied to the specimens, and then they are sent to the lab. The goal of this technology is to reduce time spent hand-labeling specimens, but more importantly to reduce errors where specimens are labeled with the incorrect patient’s information. According to Sandhu, et. al (2017), lab labeling errors led to over 160,000 adverse events, eleven percent of all transfusion deaths, and increases in rejected samples. The goal of MobiLab technology at bedside is to reduce (or ideally eliminate) these errors as they are connected to lab specimen labeling. The challenges we struggle with in the ER is the pace of the care we’re giving, and there are a few “glitches” yet to work out with this technology. We draw labs, then the printer has turned itself off, so we have to wait for it to turn back on. Then, we go to open the app, and it’s logged us out again, so we have to log in. Then it sends repeated prompts that “draw list has been updated” that we can’t skip, and the list of req’s is confusing and jumbled. We can verify and re-verify time and again, but sometimes it just doesn’t want to scan and verify the patient information. The benefits of the technology is that within the app we can see exactly which labs we need to draw, without having to open Meditech and search through the confusing order screen. I think reinforcing how to use the technology and trying to plan ahead before an admission by logging everything in are ways we can work around some of the issues we have.

Read over the assigned chapter of the week. Then respond to the prompts. Keep the prompts exactly as written and insert your responses immediately following each one. That makes it much easier for me to determine that you have responded thoroughly and adequately to each one and as a whole. Overall, I’m expecting a minimum of 300 words, but some weeks it will take more words to get the job done. Your responses must have enough information to convey to me that you have diligently done your part. (read the chapter, reflected, synthesized the information)
Throughout your responses, reference the page number or section number in the textbook that you are synthesizing into your responses. Include evidence of how you are connecting your personal experiences to all pieces of your reading. Your responses must demonstrate that you are reading the textbook. You can’t just “shoot from the hip” in responding and expect to get full points for your post. I have to see a synthesis of information that you’re reading and I have to see this knowledge being woven into your personal experiences that you’re sharing. Study the grading rubric for Discussion Board to be aware of how points are awarded.
