What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

User resistance to healthcare information management system implementation

Resistance to change is by far the most costly and commonly cited reason for all systems within a hospital to not attain their fullest potential. The lack of adoption for patient-centric management systems can be attributed to resistance to change and fear of what the new systems will do to re-align or change job priorities and status (Tan, Payton, 2010). Health Information Management Systems (HIMS) are often rejected due to these factors and those the systems are designed to support and streamline the work of often minimize their use and make them over time, less valuable from a data use and analysis standpoint. There are many allegories between patient-centric management systems and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems throughout manufacturing and services companies. CRM systems typically experience a 70% failure rate due to resistance to change (Foss, Stone, Ekinci, 2008). When a new CRM system is deployed it is common for the sales, marketing and even executive management teams to openly question tis value and see it as more of an intrusion than a tool for getting more work done (Foss, Stone, Ekinci, 2008). In many respects, nurses, physicians and the staffs of clinics are also exhibiting the same rejection of new systems by not allowing them to change their jobs, even if there is the potential to increase their performance as a result (Tan, Payton, 2010). As any new change to how information is used in a healthcare organization will also bring a change in status, every person who relies on the information included is clearly cautious (Hickman, Smaltz, 2008). This is why change management programs and initiatives are critically important in any new HIMS and patient management system being implemented in a healthcare facility. Showing how the system will save time and actually make the workers more effective is the key to making a change management program highly effective.
