SCENARIO You have recently been hired to work in your current field of study. Your new manager has informed you that the organization values innovation and asks that new employees write a white paper on an emerging technology, practice, or process in the field they studied in college. Once your manager reviews and approves the white paper, you will be asked to create several additional communications for different audiences: an executive summary for senior leadership, a press release and an FAQ that will both be distributed company- wide, and a multimedia presentation that you will deliver to colleagues in your department who share your level of technical expertise. You will also need to write an email inviting your colleagues to your multimedia presentation. REQUIREMENTS Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide. You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course. Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

Describe your organization, including the following information: 1. The products or services your organization produces 2. The size of your organization and its number of locations 3. The industry of which your organization is a part B. Identify the emerging technology, practice, or process that will be the subject of your white paper, and then review at least three works that have been written about your subject in the past five years. You will use this research to inform your white paper. Note: These other works may include interviews, white papers, research studies, or other types of work by industry professionals. 1. Write a summary for each of the three works that you reviewed. Each summary should identify the title of the source, include a discussion of the main topics, and explain why the information is important. C. Create a white paper, as defined in the learning resource for this course, that discusses an emerging technology, practice, or philosophy that is related to your academic field of study. This white paper will be reviewed by your immediate supervisor, as well as several thought leaders in your organization. The white paper should be 2–3 pages long and must include the following: 1. A thorough explanation of your chosen emerging technology, practice, or process, based on your research 2. A compelling argument discussing how the emerging technology, practice, or process could benefit your organization D. Explain how the diction in the white paper is appropriate for its audience. E. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. F. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission. Note: Do not move on to Task 2 since Task 2 will not be evaluated until after you pass Task 1.

[email protected]) lOMoARcPSD|15230373 Abstract Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging technology out of the Information Technology (IT) world. With a common fear in our society of Artificial Intelligence taking jobs away from people. RPA is not viewed as a form of technology to replace human labor but work alongside the human user. This emerging technology can be beneficial for any company; and ways to implement automation into a company. What We’ll Cover in This White Paper ● What is Robotic Process Automation ● Changes in our day-to-day ● RPA in healthcare ● Challenges to implementing RPA in a workplace Methodology In preparing this document, the objective was to understand how Robotic Processing Automation functions in a work-related environment and how the healthcare (palliative and hospice care) would work with an RPA system. Tech magazine, informative Tech websites, companies who develop RPA systems, and speaking with healthcare professionals (face to face) were my sources for information. ©2021 Adam Dudek 2 Downloaded by mensur shikur (

In the world of technology, at times can be hard to keep up with the advancements. The chance you hear of a new form of technology, a more updated product is already on its way. We hear program software or simply software, depending on the experiences you have with technology or first-hand knowledge. Potentially can be an array of topics, ideas, or understanding. Just as: servers, the cloud, or wireless technology software branches out, which reach far and wide to many concepts and ideas. A type of software that is becoming increasingly popular is Robotic Process Automation (RPA for short). Automation in the workplace has been with resistance at times due to fear of machines taking jobs. RPA works simultaneously alongside a human counterpart. An RPA will do the task the same way, time and time again. There is no self-learning similar to the way some Artificial intelligence works. Allows repetitive workloads to transfer to the program. Instead of replacing the workforce, it becomes an assistant in managing redundant tasks. Allowing the software to complete the repetitive jobs, freeing up valuable time from the staff. When talking with a hospice nurse Amanda Laporte, during the interview she estimated that around 3 hours of her day was spent on documentation, which includes authorizations, medicine lists, and visitation notes. Documentation was the largest task in her day-to-day functions and stated that the majority if not all other nurses would say the same. Changes in our day-to-day Having an RPA system would be beneficial across the entire company. Mundane tasks that are repetitive and time-consuming could now be done by a program that never sleeps or eats. Paul Actis wrote an article for Health Information and Management Systems Society on May 5th, 2021. Titled “Changing the Way We Work”, he goes into detail about the benefits on the financial side of a business. Companies showed improvement in compliance, productivity, quality, and accuracy of work. These companies also show a cost reduction in spending. In the article Actis, also gives examples of the ways an RPA can assist different departments.
