CIS 8020 Assignment 2 VJ Google Chart

Okay, this is my attempt here at this assignment that I've been struggling with. Hopefully, I will be able to do more than this simple Google Chart task.

Scenario
Recently, my company applied for an award/recognition for most successful and innovative use of Practice Management and Electronic Medical Records software.  One of the criteria used in comparing different organizations was being able to show/demonstrate the percentage of providers using EMR.

The company could have used Google charts to show this information prominently on their web site.  As more providers went live, the chart could easily be updated.




Key
EMR = Percentage of providers who are using EMR
IP = Percentage of providers currently in process of implementation
EPM = Percentage of providers using only the front office (EPM) system

Additionally, this Google API could be used as an internal tracking tool. 

Each year, there is an opportunity for employees to benefit from a company bonus as part of the success sharing plan.  There are several criteria used in determining if bonuses will be distributed and how much.  One of those criteria is having a certain level of physician satisifaction. 

It is often difficult to keep the IS team up-to-date because we are out in the field so often.  Having this chart available on the corporate intranet would help.  For example:



Key
S = Satisfied with EMR
NS = Not Satisfied with EMR

---

In my humble attempt at creativity here, I'll try a different type of chart.

Sales Results

In this scenario, a company engaged in sales activity - say, of EMR software, of course - could post sales results by quarter so that the sales team could keep up with their productivity.

I suppose a line chart would have worked as well. I started working on the bar chart before I fully thought through the scenario but both get the point across.

This chart could be improved by actually displaying the value numerically above each bar chart which is a capability of the Google chart API.



BTW, for anyone else interested in adding color and who is just as NON-technical as I am, there are several web sites out there that display different colors and their HEX value. Here's 1 of them: Hex Color Chart.
