ECO-Map Design
Project Artifact Deliverable 2. Eco-Map Design Directions Create an illustrative representation of the ecosystem relationships and connections, applying your analysis from the Eco-Map Brief. (Healthcare Ecosystem Mapping) Adhere to Map Requirements 1, 2, and 3 listed below. Choose a simple design that allows for clear identification of each map requirement. Submit your map as a PDF with the three project deliverables for the healthcare ecosystem mapping bundle. Use a free software tool. Any software you must be able to convert the map to a PDF. Your professor cannot assist students with any software tool issues, learning how to use any software tools, or support with any troubleshooting issues. Students will need to know how to use the software tool they selected or be able to independently learn how to use the selected tool on their own. Essential Learning Tool (Downloads as a PDF): Ecosystem Mapping Resource Map Requirement 1. Ecosystem Entities – Present the Ecosystem Entities from your Eco-Map Brief: Your Personalized Healthcare Scenario: Your Primary Healthcare Setting Your Primary Project (BIP/BIP Sub-Industry) External Healthcare Providers and Healthcare Organizations: Minimum of three (3) external healthcare providers and/or healthcare organizations External Business Partner: Minimum one (1) external business partner Map Requirement 2. Map Markers Requirements: 2. Map Markers: Use map markers to identify the organizations, the connections between the different healthcare providers, healthcare services, and external business partner, and to show any potential relationships to one another. Map markers can include but are not limited to shapes, colors, lines, errors, images, letters, and/or similar visualizations to identify, define, and describe the information presented. The following map markers must be included: 2a. Shapes: Use shapes to identify all organizations by by name, type, and/or description on the map 2b. Lines and/or Arrows: Include lines or arrows to illustrate the linkages, connections, and/or relationships to the organizations and any other images presented on the map. 2c. Colors: Apply colors or a color-coding to the shapes, lines, arrows, and/or details presented on the map. 2d. Optional Map Markers: You may elect to use additional map markers on your map. Examples of other map markers can include icons, symbols, patterns, sizing, numerical codes, alphanumeric codes, bubbles, and/or similar visuals. Map Requirement 3. Legend Criteria Requirements: 3. Legend Criteria: A map legend must be included that adheres to the Legend Criteria provided below. Legend Criteria A. Shape Explanations. Shapes can serve several purposes and convey important information. Each shape must be explained. Each organizational shape must clearly identify each organization with text that provides the name, type, and/or description. Legend Criteria B. Color Explanations. Colors can serve multiple purposes in an ecosystem mapping project. Each color, or color-coding system, must be explained. Use colors purposefully and consistently throughout the ecosystem mapping project to ensure clarity and readability. Legend Criteria C. Lines and/or Arrows Explanations. The lines and/or arrows on the map should represent the relationships to one another. Each type of line and/or arrow must be explained. Using different types of lines and/or arrows could represent some type of meaning various types relationships, interactions, or other influencing factors. Legend Criteria D. Additional Markers (if applicable): If you elected to include additional map markers, be sure to explain those markings in the legend.
