Case Study: Implementation of OpChart

Order Description
Use the following questions as a guide for your analysis of 400 – 600 words. We are seeking evidence of your critical thinking, i.e., the application of your readings for the week (or prior weeks) to the case. There is no “right” answer; it is about sentences that start “I think….” and reflect changes in one’s belief based on something learned and applied.
