When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

By Day 3 of Week 5

Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 For 7th edition APA – which is what we are using – one of the big changes is in the use of et al – you have to use it now if you have MORE than two authors.  Previously it was more than five 

  In general, scholarly sources have clear authors and dates.  So try to avoid sources with no apparent author and no date. Usually this is a problem for web site materials – not so much for sources in the library. Rule of thumb – use the library most of the time.  Remember if there is no author noted, the website owner is the author – so the American Nurses Association is considered the author of the Code of Ethics, for example. 

Describe the difference in roles between leadership and management. Explain how the goals of management and leadership overlap and provide one example. As a nurse leader, describe how you can facilitate change by taking advantage of this overlap.

Compare and contrast the differences in purpose and data analysis methods between quantitative and qualitative nursing research.  Provide two examples of a research question, one question for each type of research, that you might wish to investigate in your future advanced nursing role. 

Expectations

Initial Post

• Length: A minimum of 250 words, not including references
• Citations: At least one high-level scholarly reference in APA format from within the last 5 years
• Readings Polit, D.R., & Beck, C.T. (2018).  Essentials of nursing research: Appraising evidence for

  nursing practice (9 th ed.). Philadelphia, PA: Wolters Kluwer Health.)

1:

Delegation: A unit employs RNs, LPN’s and PCTs (patient care techs) to provide direct care. The unit has had an issue with appropriate delegation. The PCTs and LPNs report that they are being asked to perform more than their “fair share”, and things they should not do. The RN’s state that they are the only ones who do anything, and every time they ask the LPNs and PCTs to do anything they are told the PCTs and LPNs are not allowed to perform the task. The Unit manager recognizes that efforts to improve delegation need to be made. Your task is to research an intervention to enhance the quality and practice of delegation on this unit.

2:

Decreasing wait times in ER or patient flow time to move from ED: A manager of an Emergency Department is concerned that patient satisfaction scores have dropped significantly for the department. The primary complaint is long wait times. Internal tracking of patient flow has shown patients are waiting up to 7 hours for transfers to patient care areas, or to hospital units. Your task is to research an intervention to decrease wait times with improved flow to the care areas. 

3:

New grad nurse retention: The manager of a medical surgical unit that is expanding needs to hire additional staff. Over the last 3 years 90% of the new graduates hired have quit within the first year of hire. The current RN staff is comprised of 8 nurses with greater than 10 yrs experience, 6 nurses with 5-10 yrs experience and 7 nurses with less than 5 yrs experience on the unit. Six new graduates are hired for the expansion. They will start 3 months before the new beds open. Your task is to research an intervention to enhance retention of the new graduates.

4:

Reducing medication errors: A medical surgical unit manager has had a significant increase in medication administration errors over the last two months. The errors involve many staff members and are occurring on all shifts. The budget does not allow for the purchase of new administration system. Your task is to research an intervention to decrease medication administration errors from the nursing staff within these parameters.

5:

Patient family centered care: The manager of a medical surgical unit has experienced a significant drop in patient satisfaction with the primary complaints being a lack of communication to patients and their family members. Your task is to research an intervention to increase patient-family centered care environment that would address this issue.

6:

Evidence-based practice: A hospital is seeking Magnet Hospital status. The managers of the units are charged with enhancing the incorporation of evidenced based practice on a unit level. Your task is to research an intervention to enhance the exposure to and application of evidence-based practice among nurses on the medical surgical unit.

7:

Enhancing teamwork across care provider levels: The manager of a medical surgical unit has observed, and had complaints about, lack of teamwork between the RN’s and the patient care techs (PCT’s). Your task is to research an intervention to enhance teamwork on the unit.

8:

Call light response time: The manager of a medical surgical unit that employs RN’s and patient care techs (PCT’s) has had a significant increase in call light response time and decrease in patient satisfaction related to the answering of call lights. Your task is to research an intervention that addresses the answering of call light in a timely, respectful manner.

9:

Decreasing the incidence of DVT’s in post-op orthopedic patients: Quality assurance reports for an orthopedic surgery unit identify an increase in the incidence of DVT’s over the last 6 months. The unit uses a standard prevention plan of Lovenox subQ and sequential compression devices (SCD’s) for all appropriate post-op patients. A recent survey found that 64% of the patients did not have SCD’s on while in bed and 32% did not receive Lovenox with the notation “refused”. Your task is to research an intervention to increase the use of SCD’s and decrease the number of refused Lovenox doses.
