Assignment Instructions:
Note: You will need to download medical apps onto an iPhone, iPad, or Android device to complete this assignment. If you do not have any of these devices, you may use the app in a web browser on the host’s website.
Assignment Instructions:
Review the following tutorial on building concept maps in Word and PowerPoint
Tutorial: How To Create Concept Maps in Word and PowerPoint
Links to an external site.
Please read these instructions and follow each step.
Step 1: For this assignment, choose one disease process (example: diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, depression, heart disease, etc.).
Step 2: Choose two (2) patient-based medical applications.
When choosing these applications, think about being the patient. What applications would help you? What applications might you download to your Smartphone and why?
Use Green & Murphy’s (2016) article entitled “50 Healthcare Applications for Clinicians and Consumers to Know”
to complete this section or use a healthcare application that you find in your own search.
Step 3: Create the first concept map for patient-based medical applications
Choose three criteria from the list below which you used to select the chosen application by asking yourself – Does the app:
Inform: Provide information in a variety of formats (text, photo, video)
Instruct: Provide instructions to the user
Record: Capture user entered data
Display: Graphically display user entered data/output user entered data
Guide: Provide guidance based on user-entered information (e., recommend a physician consultation or course of treatment)
Remind/Alert: Provide reminders to the user
Communicate: Provide communication with the user and/or provide links to social networks.
Briefly describe how the application meets the criteria in each of the concept map nodes/sections
Step 4: Choose one (1) provider-based medical application.
When choosing this application, think about being the provider (nurse, doctor, advanced practice nurse). What application would help you? What application might you download to your Smartphone and why?
Use Green & Murphy’s (2016) article entitled “50 Healthcare Applications for Clinicians and Consumers to Know”
to complete this section or use a healthcare application that you find in your own search.
Step 5: Create the second concept map for provider-based medical applications
Choose three criteria from the list below which you used to select the chosen application by asking yourself – Does the app:
Inform: Provide information in a variety of formats (text, photo, video)
Instruct: Provide instructions to the user
Record: Capture user entered data
Display: Graphically display user entered data/output user entered data
Guide: Provide guidance based on user-entered information (e., recommend a physician consultation or course of treatment)
Remind/Alert: Provide reminders to the user
Briefly describe how the application meets the criteria in each of the concept map nodes/sections
Step 6: Using the Galen library, research a minimum of two (2) scholarly articles related to the topics associated with the medical applications.
Explain how the research supports the use of medical applications in practice. Provide this summary (one paragraph with at least 5-7 sentences) in the box at the bottom of the concept map template provided by your faculty member or you may create your own.
Important note to students: Pay close attention not only to the details of this assignment but also to the spelling, grammar, and syntax of your work. You are encouraged to use your Galen resources such as Grammarly, APA Style Central, etc. to complete this assignment.
Below is a sample concept map – You may use any style of concept map. A template is also provided for convenience.

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome
Comparison 1
Compares two (2) Patient-Based Applications
5.0 pts
Excellent
Excellent comparison of 2 patient-based healthcare applications (apps) which identifies and describes three criteria used for choosing the application to review.
4.0 pts
Satisfactory
Satisfactory comparison of 2 patient-based healthcare applications which identifies and describes three criteria used for choosing the application to review.
3.0 pts
Fair
Fair comparison of 2 patient-based healthcare applications which identifies and describes criteria used for choosing the application to review. Displays less than 3 common criteria. Displays some understanding of each app and its functions but seems unclear about both apps compare.
