Week 1 Discussion

Relying on
Data

In order
for data to be reliable there are several conditions that need to be
met—accurate, timely, and complete. Share an example of when you had to make a decision
using data that were not accurate, timely, or complete.

Week 2 Discussion

Implementing
Change

Post a
response to one of the two discussion topics below, using information from the
lectures, reading assignments, library resources, and Internet resources. All
responses should be posted to the Discussion Area.

Topic 1:

Change in
our work and personal lives is often a stress inducing event. The goal of the
change agent should be to mitigate stress as much as possible. Share your
experience with change, good or bad, and if it was “good” experience, what made
it good? And if “bad” what made it bad? How to these experiences align with
best practices in implementing change?

Topic 2:

Your
manager asks you to implement a new process in your unit. Knowing that an
important first step in implementing change is to evaluate and document the
current process, you tell your manager this but he or she says ‘there is not
enough time to do this” how would you make the case to you manager that
skipping this step may not provide the outcome that they are looking for in
their new process?

Week 3 Discussion

Technology’s
Impact on Population Health

Advances in
technology have fed the explosion of wearable devices and patient
self-monitoring. How can nurses leverage this technology to promote healthy
lifestyles and improved compliance with self-care and monitoring?

There are
vast quantities of consumer data available today. For example, every time you
use your grocery store loyalty card, data about what you purchased is
collected, analyzed, and saved. This data in the hands of population health
professionals can contribute to the creation of healthy lifestyle programs.
However, the same data in the hands of health insurance plans could lead to
higher insurance costs of denial of insurance. Should there be regulations on
how these consumer data are used?

Citations
should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a
convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA style
website through the APA icon below.

By the end
of the week, comment on at least two of your peers’ responses. You can ask
questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear,
and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work
toward the goal of positive progress. All comments should be posted to the
Discussion Area.

Week 4 Discussion

Telenursing
and Telemedicine

Telenursing
and telemedicine will only be successful if patients engage in the program. You
have been asked by your manager to pilot a program aimed at improving
transitions of care using the new telemedicine system recently implemented at
your hospital. What are some of the ways that you can encourage both patient
and provider engagement to ensure the pilot program success?

Week 5 Discussion

Simulation
in Healthcare

Topic 1

Simulation
technology has been transformative in nursing education. Through the use of
simulation, nurses can repeatedly practice skills and gain clinical confidence
in a risk-free environment. Simulation, however, is not just for health care
professionals. How can nurses leverage simulation technology for patient and
family education? Share your experiences and ideas for leveraging simulation technology
for patient education.

Topic 2

IT can be a
great tool in our caring environment, but it can also be perceived as a
hindrance. Recent patient satisfaction surveys have had comments such as “the
nurse and the doctor were more interested in the computer than me” and “I felt
like they were treating the machines not the person connected to them.”

You read in
your textbook about Jean Watson and her Theory of Human Caring. How can we, as
nurses, ensure that the patient understands that he or she is at the center of
our care and that the technology is an adjunct to it? Share your experiences
and ideas to ensure a patient-focused experience in a high-tech environment.

Justify
your response from the readings or articles from the South University Online
Library.

Week 2 Project

Change
Proposal

Technology
has been credited with contributing to a safer patient environment. Create a
change proposal for a new technology that will contribute to a safer patient
environment. Examine human factors including resistance to change into the
expanded use of informatics. Be sure to include how your proposed change will
impact patient safety, how you will measure the impact of your change, and how
you will communicate and implement this change.

Week 4 Project

Informatics
in the Clinical Setting

Conduct an
interview with someone in an informatics role in a clinical setting. Then,
compose a 4-5 pages paper discussing the following components:

Role
description and education level required for the role.

Describe

and discuss the impact of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
Patient Safety Indicators and The Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals in your
clinical setting. Describe how these governing agencies impact delivery of
direct patient care.

Research,
discuss, and identify the Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform
(TIGER) utilized in your clinical setting. Be sure to get the perspective of
your selected informatics professional during your interview.

On a
separate page, cite all sources using APA format.
