Scholar-Practitioner Project: Digital Dashboard

Without the usability features inherent in effective design, informatics systems may overwhelm a user with data. This portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project requires that you put to use the informatics display techniques that are covered in this week’s Learning Resources.

To complete this week’s portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project, create a mock-up screen of a “digital dashboard” for your disease surveillance system. Your text includes examples and ideas for such digital dashboards. Include a framework for the display of data based on the algorithm you designed in Week 4, using appropriate graphics, symbols, and words. You may use PowerPoint, Word, Prezi, or a program of your choosing to create the screen. Additionally, you may choose to annotate the mock-up as appropriate.

Please save the mock-up in one of the following formats:

• PowerPoint file: Use “.ppt” extension
• Word file: Use “.doc” extension
• Prezi file: Use “.pez” extension
• PDF file: Use “.pdf” extension
• Image file: Use “.jpg” or “.gif” extension
• Rich text file: Use “.rtf” extension

Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct.

Save this section of your Scholar-Practitioner Project with the filename “PROJECT5+last name+your first initial”. For example, Sally Ride’s assignment filename would be “PROJECT5RideS”.
